A rare, progressive nervous system disorder of unknown origin, typically affecting children within the same family. This condition always involves liver disease, and the initial neurological symptoms often manifest as involuntary movements of the hands and feet, which can take various forms. Tremors may also develop, intensifying with voluntary movements, and eventually leading to stiffness in the face, neck muscles, and later in the trunk. This rigidity steadily worsens until the patient becomes incapacitated. Subsequent to this, progressive muscle weakness and overall weight loss occur, and the patient tends to become compliant, docile, and childlike in behavior. No curative treatment is currently available for this condition, which is also referred to as Wilson’s disease.<\/p>\n

\n

A condition marked by reduced muscle tone, muscle weakness, limited movement, shaking, speech difficulties, liver cirrhosis, and a gradual decline in cognitive abilities.<\/p>\n
