Abstract

Cerebral CT performed in patients with Wilson disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) often reveals abnormalities of the putamen, globus pallidus, thalamocapsular region, cerebral cortex, dentate nucleus, and brain stem. We report a patient with Wilson disease who demonstrated rapid reversal of CT abnormalities following orthotopic liver transplantation.
