Abstract
Nearly two-thirds of patients with cirrhosis along with AMS had head CT scans performed on admission; all patients with a structural lesion on head CT scan had abnormal neurologic examinations. The data suggest that routine brain imaging in patients with cirrhosis that do not have focal neurologic findings is likely not indicated.
