[Encephalopathy following portal shunting in nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver].
Two patients with nodular hyperplasia of the liver developed a chronic disabling encephalopathy after an interposition mesocaval shunt. Both had a low total hepatic blood flow-rate postoperatively. Encephalopathy disappeared following surgical occlusion of the shunt. These observations emphasize the risk of postshunt encephalopathy in patients with non-cirrhotic intrahepatic portal hypertension.
