Abstract
Acquired chronic hepatocerebral degeneration (CAHD) is a rare and irreversible neurological disorder that can occur in patients with chronic liver disease. It is characterized by neurological symptoms similar to parkinsonism and the presence of brain damage secondary to manganese deposition. We present the case of a 60-year-old patient with episodes of recurrent hepatic encephalopathy and diagnosis of CAHD.
