Longitudinal brain MRI findings. Brain MRI T2-weighted sections before living transplantation (a), and at one (b), two (c), three (d) and five (e) years of follow-up. Before liver transplantation, fronto-temporal atrophy and symmetric hyperintense lesions involving the putamina and the caudate nuclei were detectable (a). After liver transplantation, improvement of cerebral atrophy with no others new basal ganglia lesions occurred (be). A slight progression of basal ganglia lesions, especially at the left putaminal level, was observed between the 1st and the 3rd year (bd), and then stabilized (d–e)
