One MIGHT speculate that he has hepatic encephalopathy.

Hepatic encephalopathy. You beat me to it. He has all the symptoms. How this man has lasted as long as he has is beyond me. His handlers must be under a lot of stress. His brain is fried.

Signs and tests

Neurologic symptoms may fluctuate. Coarse, "flapping" muscletremor may be observed during voluntary movement, such as when the person attempts to hold the arms out in front of the body (also exhibited as a positive Babinski's reflex).

Mental status examination will be abnormal, particularly cognitive tasks such as connecting numbers with lines.

Liver disease may be known or may be suspected, and signs of liver disease such as jaundice (yellow skin and eyes) and ascites (fluid collection in the abdomen) may be noted. Occasionally, there is a characteristic musty odor to the breath and the urine.

Blood tests may be nonspecific, or may show liver failure.
