Wilson's disease, also called hepatolenticular degeneration, has varied clinical manifestations and poses diagnostic challenges. Kayser-Fleischer ring, when present, is considered pathognomic of Wilson's disease. Although its presence is most commonly seen with the neuro-psychiatric form of the disease, it can also be present in hepatic form and asymptomatic patients. We report a case of unilateral Kayser-Fleischer ring in the normal, functional eye of a patient which subsequently led to the diagnosis of Wilson's disease in the patient. This case also highlights the examination of the normal appearing eye in all the patients presenting with complaints in only one eye.
威尔逊病,又称肝豆状核变性,临床表现多样,诊断具有挑战性。凯泽尔-弗莱舍尔环(Kayser-Fleischer ring)一旦出现,被认为是威尔逊病的特征性表现。虽然它最常见于该疾病的神经精神型,但也可出现在肝型和无症状患者中。我们报告了一例患者,其一只功能正常的眼睛出现单侧凯泽尔-弗莱舍尔环,随后该患者被诊断为威尔逊病。该病例还强调了对于仅一只眼睛出现症状的所有患者,都要检查外观正常的眼睛。
