Young-onset dementia and MRI changes in a patient with subclinical liver cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis C

Young-onset dementia (before age of 65) is relatively infrequent and presents a challenge in everyday neurological practice due to wide spectrum of clinical presentations and diversity of underlying etiology. When cognitive deficits are accompanied with liver dysfunction different etiologies should be considered. We present a case report of a young patient with subclinical decompensated liver disease due to underlying chronic hepatitis C, presented with the mildest form of hepatic encephalopathy spectrum, called minimal (subclinical) hepatic encephalopathy and characteristic MRI changes.
