A case of Wilson's disease combined with intracranial lipoma and dysplasia of the corpus callosum with review of the literature.
Review in BMC neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWilson's disease (WD) is an inherited disorder of copper metabolism. Agenesis of the corpus callosum is the complete or partial absence of the major united fiber bundles connecting the cerebral hemispheres. Intracranial lipoma is an adipose tissue tumor resulting from an abnormal embryonic development of the central nervous system. The simultaneous occurrence of these three disorders is rare and has not been reported. This report focuses on the pathogenesis and association between the three disorders and highlights the importance of recognizing and effectively managing their coexistence. CASE PRESENTATION: The purpose of this study was to present a patient with coexisting WD, intracranial lipoma, and corpus callosum dysplasia. We reviewed a female patient hospitalized in 2023 with clinical manifestations of elevated aminotransferases and decreased ceruloplasmin, as well as genetic testing for an initial diagnosis of Wilson's disease. Subsequently, a cranial MRI showed corpus callosum dysplasia with short T1 signal changes in the cerebral falx, leading to a final diagnosis of Wilson's disease combined with intracranial lipoma and corpus callosum dysplasia. The patient's WD is currently stable after treatment with sodium dimercaptosulfonamide (DMPS) and penicillamine, and the patient's abnormal copper metabolism may promote the growth of intracranial lipoma.
conclusionThe pathogenesis of WD combined with intracranial lipoma and corpus callosum dysplasia is complex and clinically rare. The growth of intracranial lipomas may be associated with abnormal copper metabolism in WD. Abnormal copper metabolism affects lipid metabolism and triggers inflammatory responses. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are beneficial for improvement. Each new case of this rare co-morbidity is important as it allows for a better assessment and understanding of these cases' more characteristic clinical manifestations, which can help estimate the course of the disease and possible therapeutic options.
