Abstract
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.
