PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Marchiafava-Bignami Syndrome First described by Marchiafava and Bignami (2 Italian pathologists) in 1903 . A progressive neurological disease most frequently seen in middle-aged or elderly alcoholic males. Degeneration, usually uniform, of the middle portion (middle lamina) of the myelinated fiber tracts of the corpus callosum occurs Epidemiology About 150 cases have been reported. Many cases may go undetected, with clinical features merging with other underlying alcohol-related problems Risk Factors Most cases have been reported in: Aged over 45 Male Alcoholic Presentation Symptoms Most patients have a history of alcoholism and poor nutrition Onset may be sudden with stupor, coma or seizures Other patients present with acute or chronic dementia and/or gait problems. Spasticity often complicates the gait disorder. Psychiatric disturbances include incontinence, hemiparesis, aphasia, and apraxia.

Home Cirrhosis Back to Index 2005 Research 2004-2001 Research Archives PHYSICAL FINDINGS SUGGESTIVE OF CIRRHOSIS A liver biopsy is the only definitive test that actually indicates whether or not you have cirrhosis [irreversible scaring of the liver]. So, what exactly is your doctor looking for when he/she does a physical exam? Are there actually some physical clues that suggest that you have cirrhosis? The answer to this question is yes. The following is a list of clues that indicate that you may already have cirrhosis. These are listed alphabetically by their common medical name. It is important to remember that, although helpful, each of these physical manifestations do not indicate the actual cause of one's liver disease, and, in fact, are not specific only to liver disease. They can be due to other disorders as well. ASCITES An accumulation of excess fluid in the abdomen. Causes abdominal distention. Can be treated with a low sodium diet, and the use of diuretics, i.e. water pills. Ascites: The two most important factors in the development of ascites are failure of the liver to synthesize albumin and portal venous hypertension.
