“…The commonest MRI brain changes included symmetrical high T2 signal in both putamena with a concentric-laminar pattern [8,9]. Hyperintense T2 signal in glopi pallidi, brainstem, both thalami, cerebellum were observed in many cases [10,11,12].…”

Wilson's disease is a worldwide inherent gene disorder leads to copper deposition in various tissues.Recently, wilson's disease is classified according to onset of symptoms into early-onset and late-onset wilson. Reported a 56-year-old male patient presenting with dysarthria and dyskinesia. Laboratory tests revealed elevated urinary cupper without elevation of liver function tests. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was performed and revealed typical bilateral putamena and midbrain tegmental T2 hyperintensity "Face of giant Panda" sign which are reliable imaging features of wilson's disease and the case represents a late-onset type. Medical treatment was prescribed for the patient with regular follow up.

“…T2 high signal intensity in the putamen is the most common MRI finding [4]. This is because the copper concentration is the highest and astrocytic reaction is prominent in the putamen in Wilson disease, while under physiological conditions, concentrations of copper can be found in the locus.…”

“…Copper deposition (seen as hyperintensities on T2weighted scans) in the putamen and globus pallidus, liver, and cornea are characteristic of WilsonÕs disease [42,43], as is the so-called Ôface of the giant pandaÕ sign (referring to the combination of high signal intensity in the tegmentum except for the red nucleus with preservation of signal intensity of the lateral portion of the pars reticulata of the substantia nigra and hypointensity of the superior colliculus) [44].…”

Dystonic syndromes can be divided into primary and secondary forms. Diagnosis of secondary dystonic syndromes can be challenging as causes are multifold. They include brain lesions of various origins, metabolic disease, neurodegenerative conditions, or following exposure to drugs or toxins. However, characteristic investigational findings may be directive in the diagnostic process and facilitate making the correct diagnosis and thus allow initiating the ideal treatment. In this article, we point out some clinical clues and syndromic associations which may be helpful in the approach to a patient with dystonia.
