Abstract

Wilson’s disease is a disorder of copper metabolism, autosomal recessive inherited, due to ATP7B gene mutation on the long arm of chromosome 13 (13q14.3). Wilson is a rare disease, with a prevalence of 1/30000 to 1/50000 children. With this rate, it is estimated that there are more than 2000 patients with this disease in Vietnam. However, the number of diagnosed patients is many times less than the projected number. In this number, we describe a patient with atypical neuropsychiatric manifestations, with diverse symptoms when diagnosed and treated promptly, responded well to treatment.
