Abstract

Wilson's Disease (WD) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by impaired hepatic copper metabolism, resulting in copper accumulation and multi-systemic manifestations, but arthritis as an initial manifestation is rare. We report a pediatric case of WD visiting the hospital for arthralgia, and the patient reported gradual improvement with proper therapy.
