“…The high intensity changes in the basal ganglia on MR images are a new finding in addition to the previous observations of brain atrophy and edema as organic abnormalities of the central nervous system in cirrhotic patients with hepatic encephalopathy (1,2). The site of the earliest and most profound involvement seems to be the globus pallidus on the basis of Tl-weighted MR images.…”

“…The recent widespread use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has revealed that cerebral atrophy and edemais sometimes observed in alcoholic and nonalcoholic cirrhotic patients both with and without hepatic encephalopathy (1,2). In 1991, Inoue et al (3) reported that basal ganglia lesions producing a high signal intensity on MRimages are closely related to portal-systemic encephalopathy in cirrhotic patients.…”

“…Em ambas, as alterações neuropsiquiátricas estão presentes quando coexistem vasos colaterais porto-sistêmicos e podem estar associadas com lesões irreversíveis do parênquima cerebral 13 . Alterações patológicas encefálicas têm sido descritas por diversos autores [14][15] , sendo que a mais importante delas é a atrofia cortical quando associada à cirrose 16 .…”

“…Os achados são inespecíficos, revelando apenas um quadro de atrofia cerebral difusa [17][18] . As primeiras observações das alterações de sinal ao exame de RM ocorreram em 1991 2,5 .…”

“…Extensive evidence exists that frontoparietal atrophy is prevalent in cirrhosis independent of the effects of alcohol. 16,17 This argues against the concept that HE is simply a reversible metabolic encephalopathy. However, liver transplantation appears to largely reverse motor and cognitive abnormalities, so major permanent structural damage to the brain seems uncommon.…”
