  • Abstract
    We present a 19-year-old patient with hematologic and neurologic manifestations associated with Wilson’s disease. Idiopathic thrombocytopenia was diagnosed in October 2009. Bone marrow aspiration was normal. Gradually her neurologic and psychiatric symptoms emerged, dysarthria, writing apraxia, learning difficulties, emotionalism and eventually dystonia of hands. The serum ceruloplasmin was low, and the Kayser Fleischer's ring was positive. MRI of the brain showed abnormality in the bilateral basal ganglia, brain stem and superior cerebellar peduncles without post-contrast enhancement.
