This article describes a new finding of white matter and corpus callosum microsusceptibility changes by using a new MRI technique, susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in two patients with hepatic encephalopathy. The etiology of these lesions is probably related to the presence of hepatic coagulopathy, but other factors, such as impaired cerebral blood flow and brain edema may also play a role. |  |
