Abstract
in English, Hungarian

Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is a rare alcohol-associated disorder characterized by demyelination and necrosis of the corpus callosum. We report three patients who had history of chronic alcoholism, different clinical presentation and MRI findings consistent with the diagnosis of Marchiafava-Bignami disease.

A Marchiafava-Bignami-betegség ritka, alkoholizmussal társuló kórkép, amit demyelinisatio és a corpus callosum necrosisa jellemez. Bemutatjuk három, eltérő tünetekkel jelentkező, krónikus alkoholista beteg kórtörténetét, akiknél az MRI-eredmények alapján a Marchiafava-Bignami-betegség diagnózisát állítottuk fel.

Keywords: Marchiafava-Bignami disease; corpus callosum; magnetic resonance imaging; outcome.
