Pregnancy management in women with Wilson disease (WD) remains an important clinical problem. This research was conducted to investigate how to avoid worsening of WD symptoms during pregnancy and increase pregnancy success in women with WD by identifying the best pregnancy management Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder, in which copper is deposited in the liver, brain, cornea and kidneys. The clinical presentation is variable, with fully expressed disease manifesting cirrhosis, neurologic damage and Kayser-Fleischer (K-F) ring on the cornea. A 24-year-old
Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive inherited copper metabolic disorder that is characterized by diminished biliary excretion of copper and a raised serum level of free copper. This leads to a toxic copper accumulation, particularly in the liver and the brain. Therefore, clinical symptoms are
Objective: Skeletal muscle involvement in Wilson disease is rare. Calf muscle pain might be attributed as growing pain in children. We report calf muscle involvement in Wilson disease and describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Patients with Wilson disease require life-long treatment and penicillamine is the drug of choice. We present a 14-year-old boy with Wilson disease who developed hypersensitivity reaction 2 days after starting penicillamine therapy. His symptoms included fever, maculopapular rash and lip edema. The
Nine patients with biochemically proved Wilson's disease underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Areas of abnormal signal, long T1 and long T2, caused by gliosis and edema were seen in the lenticula, thalami, caudatum, brain stem as well as in the dentate nuclei. The abnormalities
We present an adolescent patient with WD accompanied with secondary amenorrhea, and thrombocytopenia. NK, a 14 year-old girl, had amenorrhea for 5 months despite having had regular menses for 2 years. An abdominal ultrasound scan revealed ascitis and some ovarian cysts. On physical examination:
A Saudi family with Wilson's disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) is described. The index case presented with anicteric hepatitis and hydrops of the gallbladder. Neurological involvement appeared later. The diagnosis of Wilson's disease was based on the presence of Kayser-Fleischer rings, a low
BACKGROUND
Wilson's disease (WD), or hepatolenticular degeneration, is an autosomal recessive disorder with a prevalence of 1:50,000 to 1:100,000 live births.
UNASSIGNED
A 26-year-old primipara with WD was admitted to our hospital, due to awaiting delivery. Her main symptoms were slightly higher

Liver disease, both in its acute and chronic forms, can be associated with a wide spectrum of neurologic manifestations, both central and peripheral, ranging in severity from subclinical changes to neurocritical conditions. Neurologists are frequently consulted to participate in their
Compromised liver function, as a consequence of acute liver insufficiency or severe chronic liver disease may be associated with various neurological syndromes, which involve both central and peripheral nervous system. Acute and severe hyperammoniemia inducing cellular metabolic alterations,
Treatment of the causes of many chronic liver diseases (CLDs) may not be possible. In this case, complications must be anticipated, prevented or at least controlled by the best available therapeutic modalities. There are three main goals for the management of portal hypertension: (i) prevention of
BACKGROUND
Since the diverse manifestations of renal impairment appear in different periods of Wilson's disease, misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis is not rare. This study was undertaken to find the clinical features of renal impairment in children with Wilson's disease or hepatolenticular
Acute liver failure (ALF) is an infrequent, unpredictable, potentially fatal complication of acute liver injury (ALI) consequent to varied etiologies. Etiologies of ALF as reported in the literature have regional differences, which affects the clinical presentation and natural course. In this part
Acute liver failure and haemolytic syndrome appeared quite suddenly as the first manifestations of Wilson disease (WD) in five of our patients previously regarded as healthy persons (although an interview showed that 2-4 weeks prior to the illness the patients complained of several non-specific
