title: [Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of flumazenil in hepatic encephalopathy using cerebral cartography].
abstract: We investigated the therapeutic effect of flumanezil on acute and chronic hepatic encephalopathy in a group of cirrhotics; its efficacy was evaluated using clinical data and neurophysiologic examination, e.g. brain mapping. Flumazenil was not found to induce significant changes in the clinical status or in maps of the cerebral activity of patients with chronic encephalopathy. In acute encephalopathy, flumazenil improved clinical status, as was confirmed neurophysiologically by improved cerebral activity on brain mapping.
