  • Title: [Findings of computed tomography in the acute form of Marchiafava-Bignami disease].
    Author: López Arlandis JM, Burguera JA, Hernández M, García F, Coret F, Catalá J.
    Journal: Neurologia; 1990 Feb; 5(2):62-4. PubMed ID: 2361037.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of Marchiafava-Bignami's disease with acute evolution. Pathological examination was carried out and a cavitary lesion with discontinuous longitudinal extension was found throughout the corpus callosum. CT had shown a narrow hypodense area symmetrically localized just anterior to the frontal horns of the lateral ventricles, corresponding to the genus of the corpus callosum. The literature is reviewed, the anatomical-radiological correlations are discussed, and the possibility of the diagnosis of this condition during life is commented.
