Abstract

Successful pregnancy is a rare phenomenon in women with Wilson's disease. We report a case of a primigravid 19 -years old woman who presented with hemolytic anemia and was later diagnosed with Wilson's disease for the first time during pregnancy. With prompt treatment, she delivered a healthy albeit pre-term child.
