Face of the Giant Panda Sign
The "Face of the Giant Panda" sign, "Panda Sign of the Midbrain," or "Double-Panda Sign" refers to a characteristic "panda's face" appearance in MRI images of patients suffering from Wilson's Disease. Along with Kayser–Fleischer rings, the sign is helpful in diagnosis.[1]
