Reversal of Parkinsonism and Portosystemic Encephalopathy Following Embolization of a Congenital Intrahepatic Venous Shunt: Brain MR Imaging and 1H Spectroscopic Findings

Reversal of Parkinsonism and Portosystemic Encephalopathy Following Embolization of a Congenital... Summary: Parkinsonism and portosystemic encephalopathy (PSE) are cerebral disorders associated with motor and neuropsychological dysfunctions that may occur in patients with chronic liver disease. We describe a patient with parkinsonism and neuroradiologic and 1 H spectroscopic findings of PSE associated with a large congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt. Chronic liver disease was absent. After endovascular treatment, we documented a progressive reversal of parkinsonism and PSE on the basis of clinical, neuroradiologic, and spectroscopic criteria. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Neuroradiology American Journal of Neuroradiology

Abstract

Summary: Parkinsonism and portosystemic encephalopathy (PSE) are cerebral disorders associated with motor and neuropsychological dysfunctions that may occur in patients with chronic liver disease. We describe a patient with parkinsonism and neuroradiologic and 1 H spectroscopic findings of PSE associated with a large congenital intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunt. Chronic liver disease was absent. After endovascular treatment, we documented a progressive reversal of parkinsonism and PSE on the basis of clinical, neuroradiologic, and spectroscopic criteria.
