Wilsons sygdom er en autosomal recessiv genetisk sygdom, hvor kobber bliver ophobet i vævet, særligt i lever, hjerne og hornhinden. Den viser sig som neurologiske og psykiske symptomer og leversygdom. Den bliver behandlet med medicin, der nedsætter kobberoptaget eller fjerner overskydende kobber fra kroppen og nogle gange med levertransplantation.

Kayser-Fleischer ring: copper deposition in Descemet’s membrane of the cornea. These rings can be either dark brown, golden, or reddish-green, are 1 to 3 mm wide, and appear at the corneal limbus. With rare exceptions, they are diagnostic of inherited hepatolenticular degeneration—Wilson’s disease. This 32-year-old patient complained of longstanding difficulty speaking. He also had a tremor.
