2 Vignette A 42-year-old man with alcoholic cirrhosis presented to a neurology clinic with action tremor, attention/concentration deficits, and parkinsonism. Symptoms became apparent after hospitalization for alcohol withdrawal and acute alcoholic hepatitis MRI brain showed bilateral T1 hyperintense (A and B) and T2 hypointense (C and D) globus pallidus lesions Bateman et al. © 2016 American Academy of Neurology

3 Imaging Bateman et al. Figure: MRI Brain
T1-weighted axial (A) and coronal (B) MRI demonstrating the characteristic hyperintensity primarily in the globus pallidus (asterisk)T2-weighted axial (C) and coronal (D) MRI images showing the corresponding T2 hypointensity in the globus pallidus (asterisk).

4 Acquired hepatocerebral degeneration
Acquired hepatocerebral degeneration is an under-diagnosed complication of cirrhotic liver disease Clinical symptoms include parkinsonism, ataxia, chorea, as well as cognitive, behavioral, and affective symptoms. Characteristic MRI changes shown above are likely secondary to manganese deposition in the basal ganglia Improvement can be seen following liver transplantation References 1.
