MBD in nonalcoholics without malnutrition has rarely been reported. We report a case of MBD in a diabetic patient, without alcoholism or malnutrition, caused by a wide range of glycemic level fluctuations. A 38-year-old man presented with sudden onset of alteration in speech and multiple falls in three days. Neurologic examination showed dysarthria, dysmetria, and ataxia but, otherwise, normal cranial nerves, motor and sensory functions, and tendon reflexes. Brain MRI showed symmetric abnormalities in the splenium of the corpus callosum. In addition, demyelination was also observed in bilateral posterior limbs of the internal capsule and brachium ponti. His symptoms significantly improved after stabilization and normalization of his plasma glucose level and administration of multivitamins and corticosteroids. The underlying pathophysiology of the development of MBD in our case is likely to be osmotic stress from a wide range of glycemic fluctuations causing structural and functional disturbance of oligodendrocytes, which may be reversible in its early stage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/979383","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,24]],"date-time":"2013-04-24T17:01:54Z","timestamp":1366822914000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Marchiafava-Bignami Disease in a Nonalcoholic Diabetic Patient"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Sisira","family":"Yadala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Temple University School of Medicine, 3401 North Broad Street, Suite C525, Philadelphia, PA 19140, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9883-0763","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jin Jun","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Temple University School of Medicine, 3401 North Broad Street, Suite C525, Philadelphia, PA 19140, USA"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA 19140, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-004-0566-1"},{"key":"2","first-page":"544","volume":"8","year":"1903","journal-title":"Rivista di Patologia Nervosa e Mentale"},{"issue":"2","key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"241","DOI":"10.3109\/00313027909061950","volume":"11","year":"1979","journal-title":"Pathology"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004140100233"},{"issue":"6","key":"5","first-page":"231","volume":"3","year":"1984","journal-title":"Clinical Neuropathology"},{"issue":"5","key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"761","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocn.2011.07.040","volume":"19","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Neuroscience"},{"issue":"12","key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1295","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.28.12.1295","volume":"28","year":"1978","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"issue":"2","key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"106","DOI":"10.1111\/jon199442106","volume":"4","year":"1994","journal-title":"Journal of Neuroimaging"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0720-048X(92)90209-R"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A1897"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2005-872814"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s002340050702"},{"issue":"3","key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"503","DOI":"10.1097\/00004728-199805000-00026","volume":"22","year":"1998","journal-title":"Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pscychresns.2007.04.013"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-003-1072-6"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Neurological Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crinm\/2013\/979383.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crinm\/2013\/979383.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crinm\/2013\/979383.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,21]],"date-time":"2017-06-21T07:57:28Z","timestamp":1498031848000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/crinm\/2013\/979383\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":15,"alternative-id":["979383","979383"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/979383","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6668","2090-6676"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6668","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6676","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
