Deskripsi

Acute encephalopathy is frequently seen in Neurology and Internal Medicine Departments, it makes for a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric abnormalities, but its brain magnetic resonance imaging appearance in the adult population is not well recognised. We present the case of an acute hyperammonemic encephalopathy in the setting of ischemic hepatitis secondary to global heart failure and its MRI findings with a review of the literature.
