CT AND MRI OF THE BRAIN IN WILSON DISEASE (WILSON'S DISEASE)
Abstract
Two cases of Wilson disease were presented. One case was 14 years old girl, had low density at pons, midbrain, thalamus, putamen and brain atrophy. New low density lesions and expanded areas of the previous low density areas were noted by CT scan after 4 months follow up. Another case of 31 years old male, his pons and thalamus contained bright signal on T2WI-MRI study. Brain atrophy, mild ventriculomegaly, were seen. Low signal at red nucleus, substantia nigra, globus pallidus and dentate nuclei was shown on T2WI-MRI study.
