Abstract EN
Objectives.
The aim of this article is to represent the first reported case with cooccurrence of two rare alcohol related complications.
Case Report.
We report a 38-year-old man with chronic alcoholism who presented with both cranial and peripheral nerve palsy.
On MRI examination characteristic findings of Marchiafava-Bignami disease were recognized.
Discussion.
Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is a rare complication of long-term, heavy alcohol abuse that has characteristic MRI findings.
Acute alcohol related polyneuropathy (AARP) is another rare and not-well-understood complication of chronic alcohol abuse.
We could not find any previous report of the cooccurrence of these two complications in the literature.
