Abstract

There was a link between extrapyramidal signs and diagnosis of mHE based on manual neuropsychological testing. This finding may be explained by the influence of extrapyramidal manifestations on test performance or by a real pathophysiological relationship between both disorders. Further studies are necessary to resolve this question.
