Article Abstract
Supratentorial and infratentorial abnormalities in the gray and white matter were found in the pyramidal and extrapyramidal system.In Wilson disease,an abnormal striatum depicted on MR images correlated with pseudoparkinsonian signs,an abnormal dentalothalamic tract correlated with cerebellar signs,and an abnormal pontocerebellar tract correlated with pseudoparkinsonian signs.The presence of portosystemic shunt was strongly associated with abnormality of the globus pallidus.MR imaging findings were of some use in the clinical treatment of patients with Wilson disease.
