Copper deficiency myelopathy： A case report，literature review / 中风与神经疾病杂志

@#Copper deficiency myelopathy （CDM） is a degenerative disease of the nervous system as a result of copper deficiency. It can affect the posterior cord， lateral cord， and peripheral nervous system to cause sensory ataxia， spastic paralysis， and peripheral nerve damage. Anemia and/or neutropenia are among accompanying abnormalities. CDM is so rare and little reported that there is a high probability of a miss diagnosis or misdiagnosis. In this article， we present the clinical data and diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with CDM， and reviewed relevant literature， in order to provide a reference for clinical workers.
