Left: Wilson’s disease brain MRI before treatment. MRI shows T2-hyperintensity in the midbrain tegmentum (red arrows in A1), pontine tectum (red arrow in B1), and dentato-rubro-thalamic tract (red arrows in D1). SWI reveals hypointensity and atrophy in the lentiform and caudate nuclei (red circles in C1). Right: Brain MRI post 3-year penicillamine (A2–D2). Marked improvement in T2 hyperintense lesions.

Video Segment 2

Wilson’s disease patient follow-up after treatment with penicillamine. Substantial improvement in symptoms was observed over the three-year follow-up period after penicillamine treatment.
