Neuroimaging features in subacute encephalopathy with seizures in alcoholics (SESA syndrome)

Highlights • SESA syndrome should be included among the alcohol-related encephalopathies. • It presents with acute confusional state, PLDs, transient neurologic deficits and seizures. • MRI features include temporal atrophy, chronic vascular lesions and findings similar to SE. • SESA represent not a...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • SESA syndrome should be included among the alcohol-related encephalopathies. • It presents with acute confusional state, PLDs, transient neurologic deficits and seizures. • MRI features include temporal atrophy, chronic vascular lesions and findings similar to SE. • SESA represent not a “transient” disorder, but can lead to sequelae on serial imaging.
