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). (Hepatology 2018;67:1169-1171).
肝性脊髓病(HM)是肝硬化和门静脉高压的一种破坏性但罕见的并发症,严重影响生活质量,只有通过肝移植才能改善。我们报告了一例 HM 导致进行性严重痉挛性截瘫,通过部分性脾动脉栓塞术(PSAE)得到显著逆转的病例。(《肝脏病学》2018 年;67:1169-1171)。
