ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of cranial MRI on diagnosing nonalcoholic Wernickes encephalopathy (WE). Methods The clinical characters, cranial MRI features, and outcomes materials in six cases of nonalcoholic Wernickes encephalopathy were analyzed.Results Cranial MR and Flair imaging of the patients exhibited areas of increased T 2W and flair signals symmetrically surrounding the aqueduct and third ventricle and within the medial thalamus. One patient who became persistent vegetative state coexistenced increased T 2W and flair signal of the cortex. According to the follow-up results, the alterations of four patients in T 2W and Flair signals showed to resolve being consistent with the clinical recovery. One patient with persistent vegetative state had no change within two years of the follow-up.Conclusions Cranial MRI is of great value in diagnosing nonalcoholic Wernickes encephalopathy and reflects appropriately the pathological evolution of this disease.
