title: [Retinal changes in Wilson's disease].
abstract: Increasing loss of vision caused by peculiar macroscopic and functional retinal changes was the first ophthalmologic manifestation of Wilson's disease in a 22-year-old patient. Neither retinal changes nor great visual impairment has been described thus far in the literature concerning this disease. Likely correlations are discussed with Menkes syndrome, an X-linked inborn error of copper metabolism with onset in early childhood.
