Imaging findings of patients with MBD. Transverse diffusion-weighted imaging revealed hyperintense lesions in bilateral frontal lobes, SCWM, the CC and the MCPs (A–D). Transverse T2-weighted and coronal fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images showed hyperintense lesions in SCWM, PVWM, the entire CC, and the MCPs (E–H). CC: Corpus callosum; MBD: Marchiafava-Bignami disease; MCP: Middle cerebellar peduncle; PVWM: Periventricular white matter; SCWM: Sub-cortical white matter.
