Abstract
Objective: in this study, it was aimed to review cranial radiological findings of the patients with Wilson's disease in the light of the literature. Case report: Two patients aged 14 and 18 years underwent MR imaging because of some neurological and psychiatric symptoms. in one of them bilateral symetrical, hypointense, dentate nucleus, rnesencephalon, thalamus, globus pallidus, caudate nuclei and internal- external capsule lesions were revealed on T1W MR images; they were also hyperintense on T2W MR images. MR contrast-enhancement was not determined in these lesions. in the same patient hypodense lesions were demonstrated at the same localization as MRI by cranial CT. in the other patient same characteristic lesions were determined in rnesencephalon, thalamus, putamen and capsula interna. Conclusion: Although MRI is a diagnostic method in Wilson's disease, the value of its in follow-up of the treatment is low.
Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada Wilson hastalığındaki kraniyal radyolojik bulguların literatür eşliğinde gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Olgu sunumu: Bazı nörolojik bozukluklar nedeniyle başvuran 14 ve 18 yaşlarındaki 2 olgudan birinin kraniyal MRG incelemesinde; bilateral, simetrik nükleus dentatus, mezensefalon, talamus, globus pallidus, kaudat nükleus, kapsüla interna ve eksternada TlA'da hipointens, T2A'da hiperintens, kontrast tutulumu göstermeyen lezyonlar izlendi. Aynı hastanın kraniyal BT incelemesinde tarif edilen bölgelere uyan hipodens alanlar mevcuttu. Diğer olguda benzer özellikteki lezyonlar, mezensefalon, talamus, putamen ve kapsüla internada saptandı. Sonuç: MRG'nin Wilson hastalığında tanı değeri olmakla birlikte, tedavinin izlenmesinde değeri azdır.
