An MRI study of a patient with Wilson's disease is described, showing bilateral hyperintensity of the basal ganglia and thalami on T2-weighted images. Multiple, small nodular hyperintensities were superimposed on these hyperintense regions which presumably represented cavitations secondary to the spongy degeneration that is one of the histopathological features of cerebral Wilson's disease.
本文描述了一名威尔逊氏病患者的MRI研究,该研究显示在T2加权图像上基底神经节和丘脑呈双侧高信号。多个小结节状高信号叠加在这些高信号区域,推测这些高信号代表海绵状变性继发的空洞形成,而海绵状变性是脑威尔逊氏病的组织病理学特征之一。
