Background: Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a rare hereditary lysosomal storage disorder causing neuronal loss and progressive neurodegeneration. variants cause varied phenotypic presentations.
Case Report: A 49-year-old male presented with late adult-onset progressive focal right lower limb dystonia.
To report a patient with concomitant aceruloplasminemia (with a novel mutation) and IgG4-related pachymeningitis and to hypothesize on the possible relation between the two diseases. Clinical, radiological, and laboratory features of a 56-year-old lady with chronic headache, bifacial palsy, and cerebellar signs are described. Pathophysiology of aceruloplasminemia leading to hyperferritinemia and consequent immune activation is elucidated.
