Parkinsonism in Wilson's disease – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1919609498

The neurological manifestations of Wilson Disease (WD) are protean. The clinical picture may include Parkinsonism, dystonia, ataxia and tremor sometimes wing- beating in nature. Psychiatric disturbances are common. MRI is often abnormal. The serum ceruloplasmin level is low and slit lamp examination of the cornea demonstrates a Kayser-Fleischer ring as a result of copper deposition.
