Wilson's Disease Presenting as Acute Fulminant Hepatic Failure
1990
A fatal case of fulminant hepatic failure in an adolescent is described. Post-mortem examination revealed the cause to be Wilson's Disease. This rare presentation is characterised by apparently atypical changes in copper metabolism. Wilson's Disease should be a differential diagnosis of any adolescent presenting in liver failure.
