Popis: | Wilson's disease (WD) or hepatolenticular degeneration is a rare genetic disorder involving excessive copper accumulation in the liver and brain. It can present with a myriad of presentations, ranging from neurological, motor, hepatic, and psychiatric. A high level of suspicion needs to exist among the mental health professional if the initial presentation is only psychiatric. We present a case of a 12-year-old male patient presenting with mood disturbances and sexual disinhibition, later diagnosed as WD. |
