The diagnosis of Wilson disease (WD), a rare metabolic disorder, is based on clinical presentation of hepatic and/or neurologic involvement or routine screening due to the index case. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was frequently normal in patients with hepatic form of WD (2).

Treatment for cerebral aneurysms is performed because aneurysm poses a risk of future neurologic deficits due to intracranial hemorrhage. Such surgical and endovascular treatment are prophylactic prevent harm patients. Ironically, these procedures themselves pose similar risks. During aneurysms, intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) can be used assess the functional state brain. Thr...

It almost always is associated with hypertrophic degeneration of the inferior olivary nucleus [1] ; however, such hypertrophic degeneration is not always accompanied by palatal myoclonus. The abnormality of the olivary nucleus is thought to be the result of a transsynaptic degeneration due to a...
