Partial splenic artery embolization for severe hepatic myelopathy in cirrhosis

Hepatology, 2018
Hepatic myelopathy (HM) is a devastating but rare complication of cirrhosis and portal hypertension that profoundly affects quality of life and improves only with liver transplantation. We present a case where progressive severe spastic paraparesis due to HM was substantially reversed with partial splenic artery emobilization (PSAE).

Hepatic myelopathy Case report with review of the literature

Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 1996
Hepatic myelopathy is a rare complication of hepatic insufficiency, causing progressive spastic paraparesis. There are few reports detailing the clinical and diagnostic aspects of this uncommon cause of neurological deterioration in patients with liver disease. Early recognition of this disorder will become more important as patients with liver disease

European Neurology, 2008
Myelopathy is a rare complication of chronic liver disease associated with extensive portal-systemic shunt of blood. Its main clinical feature is a spastic paraparesis without sensory or sphincteric impairment. We describe 3 patients who presented hepatic myelopathy following the performance of a portacaval shunt.
