%X Wilson¡¯s disease is a rarely seen, autosomal recessive disorder which leads to degenerative changes in the liver and brain due to cupper accumulation in them. A Wilson syndrome case who was diagnosed 5 years previously with classic symmetric basal ganglia and thalamus involvement in brain MR imaging and increased glutamate-glycine peaks, decreased N-Acetyl Aspartate(NAA)/Creatin(Cre, increased Myoinositol(Mi)/Cre ratios in Multivoxel proton MR spectroscopy with short and long time to echo(TE) values, was presented here. Spectroscopic findings observed at basal ganglia and both thalami in Wilson¡¯s disease might be due to the neuronal tissue loss and anaerobic glycolysis.
