Pancreatic encephalopathy is a rare complication of acute pancreatitis. Clinical features include focal neurological signs and acute oncet of dementia. Clinical picture can fiuctuate over the time and depends on phase of this disease. The progression and the regression of encephalopathy with relapse and remission of acute pancreatitis has been often described.

D011782	Quadriplegia	Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from BRAIN DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; or rarely MUSCULAR DISEASES. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper BRAIN STEM which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.

D001928	Brain Diseases, Metabolic	Acquired or inborn metabolic diseases that produce brain dysfunction or damage.

D019283	Pancreatitis, Acute Necrotizing	A severe form of acute INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS characterized by one or more areas of NECROSIS in the pancreas with varying degree of involvement of the surrounding tissues or organ systems. Massive pancreatic necrosis may lead to DIABETES MELLITUS, and malabsorption.
