Brain iron in progressive supranuclear palsy: clinical, magnetic resonance imaging, and neuropathological findings

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/jnp.1.4.400

A patient with progressive supranuclear palsy demonstrated a region- specific decrease in T2 signal during high-field-strength brain magnetic resonance imaging. At autopsy the T2-signal hypointensity was found to correspond topographically to increased deposition of ferric iron. The potential clinical, radiologic, and pathophysiologic implications of these findings are discussed.
