Abstract

Objective To investigate the image features of corpus callosum degeneration caused by alcohol encephalopathy. Methods Six cases with callosum in our hospital from 2009 to Jan 2016 were selected. They were all given imaging examination and had complete information. Results After CT scan, 4 cases showed volume increase, more significant in knee, unclear border and showed higher signal and high signal in MRI scan. One case subacute in CT scan showed lighter callosum swell, clear border and showed high signal and high signal in MRI scan. One case chronic type volume reduced, more obvious in body, necrosis occurred in knee and showed low signal and low signal in MRI scan. Conclusion CT and MRI can clearly show pathological changes of callosum degeneration. MRI is more favourable to omnibearing imaging and is significant in clinic.
