Transitory changes are shown through T1-weighted MRI bipallidal hyperintensity in a patient with acquired hepatocerebral degeneration induced by hemochromatosis. In addition we discuss about the possibility of this image associated with thalamic hyperintensity on T2-weighted also seen in this case, was just secondary to hepatocerebral degeneration, or if they could be caused by hemochromatosis itself.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
