Acquired hepatocerebral degeneration is a rare, mostly irreversible neurological syndrome that occurs in patients with chronic liver disease, particularly in those with surgically or spontaneously induced portosystemic shunts. Typical magnetic resonance findings are T1 hyperintensity in the pallidum, substantia nigra, periaquaductal gray matter. In this paper, we report a case of a 51-year-old ...

متن کاملAcquired hepatocerebral degeneration: MR and pathologic findings.
Acquired (non-Wilsonian) hepatocerebral degeneration (AHD) is a rare irreversible neurologic syndrome that occurs in patients with chronic liver disease associated with multiple metabolic insults. The pathophysiology and the locations of the cerebral injuries are incompletely understood. We describe a patient with fatal hepatic cirrhosis and AHD in whom MR images showed abnormalities in the bra...
متن کاملMR imaging of acquired hepatocerebral degeneration.

Affected patients have some combination of coarse postural and action tremor, dyskinesias of cranial predominance, dysarthria, gait and limb ataxia, and variable impairment of intellectual function (1, 2).
