Abstract:
Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is a metabolic disease of the nervous system. It mainly involves the Corpus callosum, but the handknob area is rarely involved. This article reports a MBD case involving the bilateral handknob area. The involvement of the bilateral handknob area contributes to the clinical presentation of convulsions of both hands. Through this case, more clinicians realize the bilateral handknob area involvement in MBD, which is helpful for the identification and diagnosis of MBD. To our knowledge, this is the first report on MBD involving the bilateral handknob area.
