A rare giant intracranial arachnoid cyst confused the diagnosis and treatment of Wilson disease

Abstract

Hepatolenticular degeneration (HLD), also known as Wilson disease (WD), is a rare autosomal-recessive hereditary disease, which is often missed and misdiagnosed because of its various clinical manifestations. And WD is even more rare with giant subarachnoid cysts. In this report, we will provide a case of WD with an intracranial arachnoid cyst (IAC).
