Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Wilson's disease (WD) is autosomal recessive disease. It has varied presentation so that WD need to consider in any patient with movement disorder under the age of 50 years. The three movement disorders associated with WD are dystonia, in coordination and tremors. We report a case of a young male who presented with pin rolling tremors of right hand since 3 months. After clinical examination and laboratory investigation, diagnosis of WD was confirmed. Patient was treated with zinc acetate and diet modification. Tremors responded to treatment. This case emphasises that tremors can be the main and presenting feature of WD
