Wernicke's encephalopathy with atypical findings on MR imaging.
Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a disease usually related to chronic alcoholism. The clinical diagnosis is often difficult to establish. MR imaging is a highly sensitive method for detecting lesions associated with Wernicke's encephalopathy. We report a case of atypical manifestation of hyperintense lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a 60-year-old male patient with Wernicke's encephalopathy.
