Hepatic encephalopathy in the setting of advanced chronic liver disease, occurs following a precipitating factor and generally responds to correction of the precipitating factor and anticoma measures. We report the case of a lady with Child A cirrhosis who presented with frequent episodes of hepatic encephalopathy without any precipitating factors. She was found to be having a large portosystemic shunt. The shunt was obliterated by coil embolotherapy following which there was no further episodes of encephalopathy.
晚期慢性肝病患者发生肝性脑病,通常是在有促发因素的情况下出现,一般通过纠正促发因素及采取抗昏迷措施后病情会有所改善。我们报告一例患有Child A级肝硬化的女性病例,该患者频繁出现肝性脑病发作,且无任何促发因素。检查发现她存在一个大的门体分流。通过弹簧圈栓塞治疗将该分流闭塞后,患者未再出现肝性脑病发作。
