Abstract
Patients with treated Wilson's disease and no residual impairments should have successful pregnancies. We report a case of a neurologically impaired patient with Wilson's disease who had a successful pregnancy with no complications. This is the first case to document that compliance with penicillamine therapy as low as 500 mg/day avoids placental and fetal copper accumulation.
