Eye of the tiger anomaly of globus pallidus
Full description or abstract
The presence, on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, of markedly low signal intensity of the globus pallidus that surrounds a central region of high signal intensity in the anteromedial globus pallidus, producing an eye-of-the-tiger appearance. The sign is thought to represent iron accumulation in the globus pallidus. [https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0736-9199, PMID:11110959, PMID:19881070, PMID:29371252]
