Abstract

The article describes the case of a 45-year-old man with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). Fourteen years following his history of psychiatric symptoms, he was presented to the clinic for cognitive decline and parkinsonian symptoms. Global atrophy and iron accumulation are revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain.
