Abstract
The first case of Marchiafava-Bignami disease in a German is reported. The female patient was a heavy drinker and died after a fortnight of coma. Necropsy showed a typical degeneration of the corpus callosum and of the subcortical white matter of the right cerebral hemisphere. Furthermore, this case is the fourth of the cases of Marchiafava-Bignami disease in a woman described up to now.Entities:
