| Description |
Kayser-Fleischer ring is the well known ocular manifestation of Wilson's disease (WD), which is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterized by hepatic and neurologic manifestations. Optic neuropathy is very rarely reported with WD, but has been reported with penicillamine therapy. We report the case of a 19-year-old male presenting with advanced cirrhosis secondary to WD, and a rapid onset bilateral optic neuropathy. We discuss the possible association of WD and optic neuropathy. |
