Abstract: | Cirrhosis and its co-morbidities may cause a variety of neurological complications, the most common being bouts of toxic metabolic
encephalopathy. A proportion of patients with chronic liver disease develop acquired hepatocerebral degeneration (AHD), a
chronic progressive neurological syndrome characterized by parkinsonism, ataxia and other movement disorders. This article
reviews the clinical spectrum, pathophysiology, neuroimaging features and differential diagnosis of AHD along with emerging
treatment options. |
