Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is an uncommon complication of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Cytotoxic edema has not been reported in children with TPN-related HE. We describe a case of TPN-related HE presenting with diffuse cytotoxic edema which reversed after liver transplantation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Clinical-radiological severity mismatch phenomenon: patients with severe neurological deficits without matching infarction on computed tomographic scan.
The objective was to determine the long-term outcome of patients with severe persistent neurological deficits without a large infarction on computed tomographic (CT) scan. ⋯ We observed that approximately one-fourth of patients with severe neurological deficits have clinical-radiological severity mismatch. Such patients appear to have a high rate of favorable outcomes at 1 year.

Review Case Reports
Ectopic pituitary adenoma associated with an empty sella: a case report and review of the literature.
A case of ectopic pituitary adenoma in the sphenoid sinus associated with an empty sella is reported. The coexistence of an ectopic pituitary adenoma and an empty sella is quite rare. ⋯ In the present case, the hypointense line that coated the pituitary gland was clearly demonstrated on 3-tesla T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The hypointense line is considered to be the pituitary capsule and was critical in diagnosing this rare entity.
