1. To overview radiologic findings of toxic and metabolic encephalopathies
2. To explain the anatomy and physiology of the basal ganglia and thalami
3. To explain the utility of correlation between radiologic findings with clinical features, which will help in correctly indentifying the cause of encephalopathy
