Abstract:
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.
