MRI Findings in Acute Hyperammonemic Encephalopathy: Three Cases of Different Etiologies

We present three cases of acute hyperammonemic encephalopathy of different  etiologies and the observed brain MRI findings. Symmetrical extensive cortical signal abnormalities, typically involving the insular and cingulate cortices, often showing restricted diffusion, are commonly described. These specific imaging features should be recognized by the radiologist since pro mpt treatment of the condition is paramount. Published on 2020-01-30 11:30:13
