Unmasking Juvenile Parkinsonism – A KF Ring Negative Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Our case is one of the very rare atypical presentations of Juvenile Parkinsonism on which a detailed work up was undertaken and diagnosed as Wilson’s disease. It is an enigmatic case of Wilson’s disease reported in the world with no family history, severe neurological impairment in absence of KF ring, normal liver function and only basal ganglia degeneration on MRI brain. The diagnosis was arrived upon by using Leipzig’s score for Wilson’s disease. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose such cases as an excellent recovery of function can be seen in such patients who initially present with Parkinsonism features.
