We present a case of decompensated liver cirrhosis with ascites, which had history of asterixis, impaired balance with swaying gait along with mild irritability since 1 month. F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT (FDG-PET/CT) performed to rule out malignancy did not reveal any abnormal FDG avid lesion suspicious for malignancy but showed hypermetabolism in the bilateral basal ganglia and thalamus with reduced metabolism in cerebral cortices and cerebellum, suggesting hepatic encephalopathy.
