Marchiafava Bignami Disease
In 1903 Marchiafava and Bignami, 2 Italian pathologists, described 3 men with alcoholism who died after having seizures and coma. In each patient, the middle two thirds of the corpus callosum were severely necrotic. Most patients are men with alcoholism. In some cases, the damage extends to areas such as the nearby subcortical white matter, the anterior commissure, or both. These are FLAIR, Sagittal and Diffusion weighted images of a 50 year old chronic alcoholic showing corpus callosal necrosis.

It is bignami, not bingami.
Hi Dr. Sethi,
please excuse this unsolicited comment.
My name is Luca, along with my doctor friends I've put together a website dedicated to creating a social community, just for doctors, based on blogs.
Our origins are humble as we have only just launched the site but our goals are noble as we're not out to make money, just give the medical community something we feel it's lacking, i.e. a tool that brings together doctors everywhere allowing them to benefit from the experience and ideas of colleagues from all over the world.
We noticed that your blog has similar objectives to ours and so we decided to contact you to see if you'd consider joining our community. If you’re interested visit us at www.medbrains.net and you can contact me with any questions (luca.hurst@medbrains.net).
Regards,
luca.
