Bilateral Basal Ganglia Lesions Associated with Lactic Acidosis in an End-Stage Renal Failure Patient

Bilateral Basal Ganglia Lesions Associated with Lactic Acidosis in an End-Stage Renal Failure Patient

Although bilateral basal ganglia lesions are common in hypoxic encephalopathy and methanol intoxication, they are a rare finding in end-stage chronic renal failure. The pathophysiology of both bilateral and selective involvement of the basal ganglia is unclear, but severe metabolic acidosis is one o...
