The presence of liver disease, neurological symptoms, and Kayser-Fleischer corneal rings constitute the clinical triad of the disease. Changes of the skeletal system are rare in Wilson'disease. There are a few of reports concerning degenerative changes of the spine, such as spinal canal stenosis and disc herniation in this disease in the literature.
