Encefalopatía hepática crónica: rol de niveles sanguíneos elevados de manganeso y su relación con lesiones en ganglios basales en la resonancia magnética nuclear de cerebro

We report a new radiological finding in two patients with hepatic encephalopathy. A new susceptibility-weighted (SWI) magnetic resonance imaging sequence revealed multiple bilateral microsusceptibility changes in the corpus callosum and white matter, while the conventional T1 and T2 weighted images were unremarkable. We postulate that the etiology of the microsusceptibility changes may be related to hepatic coagulopathy and other factors, such as impaired cerebral blood flow and brain edema.
