Abstract
According to early research, the incidence of claustrum lesions in patients with neurological Wilson’s disease (WD) was inconsistent, ranging from 1.8 to 75% on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our study aims to explore the incidence, clinical presentation features, iconography features, and possible pathological mechanisms in WD patients with claustrum lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to characterize the clinical, and brain imaging findings and possible pathological mechanisms in the patients with WD. Retrospective cases meeting the inclusion criteria were studied for analyzing MRI characteristics and associated physicochemical examination data in neurological WD patients with claustrum lesions. 443 (66.3%) with brain MRI abnormalities were screened from 668 WD patients. The three (0.7%) patients with the claustrum lesions characteristics on MRI images were: (a) “bright claustrum” in T2-weighted and FLAIR sequences, (b) bilateral symmetrical, (c) non-isolated lesions, (d) occurred only in severe neurological manifestations. The claustrum lesions are not common in neurological WD and mainly appear in cases with severe neurological symptoms. On MRI, the “bright claustrum” signs may be a radiographic marker of neuroinflammation, the features of the lesions showed bilateral symmetry, and hyperintensity signals on T2-weighted, FLAIR, and DWI.
