Extend the knowledge about the early detection of multiple brain metabolic abnormalities following TIPS; these abnormalities can be detected and managed prior to the clinical manifestation of HE with use of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance with Spectroscopy.12 cirrhotic Patients underwent TIPS; each Patient underwent a 3 T MRI evaluation before and after TIPS. The spectroscopic images were processed measuring the values of the metabolites N-acetylaspartate (NAA) - Glutamine / Glutamate (Glx) - Colina (Cho) - Myinositol (mI) at the level of the nuclei of the base.
