Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Findings Of Wilson’s Disease: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2005, Vol 22, Issue 3
Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (single voxel) was applied in both the left and right basal ganglia of a patient clinically proven Wilson's disease. Decreased in NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr ratios was found and inverted lactate peak was observed. These findings reveal neuronal tissue degeneration and anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis) at basal ganglia in Wilson's disease.
