ABSTRACT
Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism. The clinical manifestations of WD are complex and variable, with Kayser-Fleischer ring (K-F ring) and the sunflower cataract being the most common ocular findings. Visual impairment is rare in patients with WD. We report the case of a 17-year-old female with bilateral optic atrophy associated with WD and summarize the clinical features of previously reported cases of optic neuropathy in WD, Clinicians should be aware that WD is a rare cause of optic neuropathy and that optic neuropathy in patients with WD may need to be recognized and screened.
