RÉSUMÉ
Este estudo faz, inicialmente, revisão dos aspectos mais atuais referentes a conceito, quadro clínico, diagnóstico e tratamento do distúrbio metabólico do cobre, definido como doença de Wilson. E relata o caso clínico de um jovem acometido de uma sequência de sintomas superpostos de origem gastrintestinal, neurológico e psiquiátrico. Pela multiplicidade e gravidade dos sintomas, teve o diagnóstico final de transtorno psicótico agudo polimórfico, com intensa inibição psicomotora. A partir de uma análise integrada dos exames já solicitados, suspeitou-se de um distúrbio metabólico de origem hereditária ou adquirida que justificasse simultaneamente os sintomas. O distúrbio da excreção do cobre, doença de Wilson, veio justificar toda a sintomatologia referida e foi confirmado a partir da dosagem sanguínea baixa de ceruloplasmina e da presença dos anéis de Kaiser-Fleischer na córnea do paciente.
