LITERATURE

Metabolic Encephalopathies


Kinnier Wilson coined the term metabolic encephalopathy to describe a clinical state of global cerebral dysfunction induced by systemic stress that can vary in clinical presentation from mild executive dysfunction to deep coma with decerebrate posturing; the causes are numerous. Some mechanisms by which cerebral dysfunction occurs in metabolic encephalopathies include focal or global cerebral edema,
alterations in transmitter function, the accumulation of uncleared toxic metabolites,
postcapillary venule vasogenic edema, and energy failure
