  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 58-year-old woman began to show ataxia at age 45 and dysarthria at age 56. Neurological examination revealed slurred speech, truncal ataxia, and pyramydal sign. Neither history of alcoholism nor hereditary fac-tors were found. The level of serum ammonia was in-creased. Brain MRI study showed a high signal inten-sity in the cerebral peduncle and globus pallidus and mild cerebellar atrophy on T1-weighted image. A por-tal-systemic shunt due to a shunt vessel was found between the left splenic and kidney veins although she did not show any other symptoms or signs due to liver cirrhosis.
