Non-alkolik nedenlere bağlı gelişen Wernicke ensefalopatisinde manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulguları
Öz
Amaç: Wernicke
ensefalopatisi (WE) tiamin (vitamin B1) eksikliğine bağlı olarak gelişen
nöropsikiyatrik bir hastalıktır. Sıklıkla kronik alkolizme bağlı olarak
görülmekle birlikte tiamin alım veya emilim eksikliğine neden olan her türlü
durumda ortaya çıkabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı tedavi edilmediği takdirde ölüme
kadar giden ciddi sonuçlar doğurabilen bu hastalığın tanı ve izleminde manyetik
rezonans görüntülemenin (MRG) önemini vurgulamaktır.
Gereç ve
Yöntem:
Çalışmamıza kurumumuzda hospitalize edilen ve non-alkolik nedenlerle WE tanısı
alan 10 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların MRG tetkiklerinde tutulum yerlerinin
lokalizasyonuna göre tipik ve atipik bulguların varlığı değerlendirildi. Ayrıca
eşlik eden difüzyon kısıtlılığı varlığı araştırıldı.
Bulgular: Kraniyal MRG’de tipik
tutulum alanları 10 hastada bilateral talamus mediali, 8 hastada bilateral
mamiller cisim, 7 hastada periakuaduktal alan/tektal plak olarak tespit edildi.
Atipik tutulum alanları ise 5 hastada forniks, 4 hastada serebral korteks, 2
hastada putamen, 1 hastada ise serebellum tutulumu şeklinde idi. 8 hastada bu
bulgulara difüzyon kısıtlılığı eşlik etmekteydi.
Sonuç: Sunulan çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, non-alkolik WE tanılı olgularda MRG’de, alkolik WE tanılı olgularla benzer bulgular gözlenmektedir. Bu hastaların
tanı ve tedavilerinin gecikmemesi amacıyla MR görüntülemenin kullanımının
önemli rol oynadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Aim: Wernicke
encephalopathy (WE) is a neuropsychiatric disease that develops due to the
deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1). It is often observed due to chronic
alcoholism; however it can arise in any condition that causes deficiency in the
intake or absorption of thiamine. The aim of this study is to emphasize the
importance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis and follow-up of
this disease which can even lead to death when it is not treated.
Materials
and Methods: Ten patients, who had been hospitalized in our institution and
diagnosed as WE due to non-alcoholic reasons, were included in our study. In
the MRI examinations of the patients, typical and atypical findings were
evaluated according to the localization of involvement areas. The existence of
accompanying diffusion restriction was evaluated.
Results: Typical involvement
areas in cranial MRI were determined as bilateral medial thalamus in 10
patients, bilateral mammillary bodies in 8 patients, periaqueductal area/tectal
plate in 7 patients. Atypical involvement areas were determined as fornix in 5
patients, cerebral cortex in 4 patients, putamen in 2 patients and cerebellum
involvement in 1 patient. These findings were accompanied by diffusion
restriction in 8 patients.
Conclusion: According to the
results of the presented study, cranial MRI has similar findings in alcoholic
and non-alcoholic WE patients. We conclude that, the utilization of cranial MRI
in these patients has an important role to prevent the latency of the diagnosis
and treatment.
