[Applications of magnetic resonance spectrometry (MRS) in the study of metabolic disturbances affecting the brain in alcoholism].
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the current applications of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to the investigation of cerebral metabolism in alcoholic patients. The specific metabolic changes associated with the intoxication process (tolerance, dependance), abstinence and alcohol-related diseases (alcoholic encephalopathy, cirrhosis, Gayet-Wernicke's encephalopathy, Marchiafava-Bignami syndrome) are described.
