Abstract:
Marchiafava-Bignami disease is a rare neurological condition characterized by necrosis and demyelination of the corpus callosum, typically associated with chronic alcoholism and/or malnutrition. The clinical manifestations of Marchiafava-Bignami disease are diverse and often nonspecific. Diagnosis of Marchiafava-Bignami disease relies on magnetic resonance imaging findings, which reveal significant and symmetrical involvement of the corpus callosum. We report the case of a 48-year-old man with chronic alcoholism who has been experiencing symptoms of confusion, stupor, difficulties in using and manipulating objects, and balance disorders for the past 10 days. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse and complete involvement of the corpus callosum, characteristic of a severe form of Marchiafava-Bignami disease.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
