Methods The imaging date of 3 patients with clinically proved non-alcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy were retrospectively analyzed and reviewed combined with literature. Results 3 patients showed symmetric low signal intensity in T1WI, high signal intensity in T2WI, T2 Flair and DWI in the regions surrounding III and IV ventricles, inside of bilateral thalamus, tectum of midbrain and regions surrounding midbrain aqueduct. Conclusions Lesion distribution of Wernicke encephylopathy has its characteristics. MRI manifestations of Wernicke encephylopathy have certain specificity and high value in the early diagnosis of this disease
