[Abstract] Objective: To explore the damages of brain gray matter in patients with cerebral hepatolenticular degeneration.Materials and Methods: Brain 3D T1 weighted images were obtained from 30 patients with untreated cerebral hepatolenticular degeneration. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze group difference. Cortical gray matter and deep nucli volumes were analyzed using FMRIB Software Library (FSL) software and voxel based morphometry (VBM). Thirty healthy volunteers were enrolled as controls.Results: Compared with controls, the percentages of each cortical lobe atrophy and the comparison of bilateral cortical lobes were as follows: cerebellum (left 16.48%<right 16.54%, P>0.05), frontal cortex (left 23.6%>right 19.5%, P<0.001), temporal cortex (left 16.9%<right 25.4%, P<0.001), parietal cortex (left 15.5%<right 16.1%, P<0.001), occipital cortex (left 21.0%<right 27.2%, P<0.001), and insular cortex (left 58.7%>right 49.2%, P<0.001). The volumes of the brainstem and deep gray matter nuclei except the amygdale were significant atrophy. Atrophy percentage arranged in descending order was the accumbens nuclei, putamen nuclei, globus pallidus, thalamus, caudate nuclus, and brain-stem. There were no significant difference in the percentage of atrophy in each nucleus between the hemispheres.Conclusions: Cerebral hepatolenticular degeneration was characterized by bilaterally non-symmetrical cortical atrophy and symmetrical deep gray matter atrophy.
