Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 133Xe inhalation was studied in a patient with Wilson's disease, who had the low-density lesions in the bilateral ganglia and a small calcified lesion in the left basal ganglia on computed tomography (CT). SPECT showed the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) of the basal ganglia area. The values of the rCBF in these areas are 77 to 91 ml/100g/min in the right, and 56 to 77 ml/100g/min in the left. Further study is needed to prove the pathological role of rCBF for the basal ganglia lesion in the patient with Wilson's disease.

D006527 Hepatolenticular Degeneration A rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the deposition of copper in the BRAIN; LIVER; CORNEA; and other organs. It is caused by defects in the ATP7B gene encoding copper-transporting ATPase 2 (EC 3.6.3.4), also known as the Wilson disease protein. The overload of copper inevitably leads to progressive liver and neurological dysfunction such as LIVER CIRRHOSIS; TREMOR; ATAXIA and intellectual deterioration. Hepatic dysfunction may precede neurologic dysfunction by several years.
