Hereditary haemochromatosis (HH) is the most common inherited disorder of systemic iron excess in Northern Europeans. Emerging evidence indicates that brain iron overload occurs in HH. Despite this observation, there is a paucity of literature regarding central neurological manifestations, in particular movement disorders, in HH. The current study documents deep gray matter (DGM) nuclei iron deposition, movement disorders, and clinicoradiological correlations in HH without liver failure.
