To review and illustrate the characteristic MRI features of common and uncommon toxic-acquired metabolic encephalopathies and correlate with their clinical features. To determine the role of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) for the diagnosis of toxic and acquired metabolic encephalopathies To help narrow the differential diagnosis in a case of acute encephalopathy.  

1. General overview of altered metabolism and acute exposure to toxic agents 2. Review of imaging findings and clinical features in common and uncommon toxic and acquired metabolic encephalopathies     - Metabolic encephalopathy : hypoglycemic encephalopathy, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, hepatic and hyperammonemic encephalopathies, non-ketotic hyperglycemia, diabetic uremic syndrome, Fahr’s disease, osmotic myelinolysis, Wilson disease, and MELAS     - Acute exposure to toxic agents : carbon monoxide, methanol, ethylene glycol, ethylene oxide, and metronidazole 3. Summary and conclusion
