Hemosiderin Detection inside the Mammillary Bodies Using Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping on Patients with Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome

Abstract: Hemorrhage inside the mammillary bodies (MMBs) is known to be one of the findings of Wernicke encephalopathy. Brain MRI of two patients with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) demonstrated high susceptibility values representing hemosiderin deposition in MMBs by using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). QSM provided additional information of susceptibility values to susceptibility-weighted imaging in diagnosis of WKS.

“…Manganese accumulation and deposition in Alzheimer type II astrocytes in the globus pallidus are currently considered the main underlying cause of motor disorders associated with acquired hepatocerebral degeneration. 80 QSM showed 78 elevated susceptibility values in the globus pallidus, since manganese is a paramagnetic substance (Fig. 7).…”
