  • Look Inside

1) A boy, 16, hospitalized on March 1, 1959, because of progressive difficulty in speaking and walking, excessive salivation during past 2 years. No familial manifestation were re-cognized.

2) Clinical examinations revealed the typical Kayser-Fleischer's corneal rings in both eyes and mild hepatic dysfunction. No signs of pyramidal lesion and sensory disturbance were presented. Mental state of this patient was characterized by remarkable irritability, im-pulsiveness and dementia (IQ : 62).

3) Increased urinary excretion of copper (526 γ/day) and amino acids (855 mg/day), low serum copper level (60γ/dl), low serum ceru-loplasmin level (0 determined by Ravin's me-thod) and low B bile copper level (16γ/dl in comparison with 195 γ/dl in normal controls) were evidenced.

4) BAL caused increase in urinary copper output (maximum 2 mg/day), and simultane-ous improvement of neurological symptoms, but did not cause any change of serum copper level.

Another drugs which were administered therpeutically, namely Thioctan (lipoic acid), ATP, Pereston N, and EP hormone had no noticeable effect on copper metabolism, except EP hormone which slightly elevated serum copper level.
