Wilson’s disease is an inherited disease of copper metabolism leading to the toxic accumulation of copper, primarily inthe liver and brain. Although the literature shows successful outcomes after proper treatment, pregnant patients withWilson’s disease still need close monitoring and management. Here, we report the case of a successful pregnancy ina Korean woman with Wilson’s disease. A 33-year-old primigravid patient with Wilson’s disease visited our antenatalclinic. Of her own volition, she had stopped her medication 2 years earlier. Oral zinc oxide therapy was started, and shewas closely monitored throughout her pregnancy. She delivered a healthy female infant weighing 3.13 kg through acesarean section. After delivery, the clinical course of both the mother and the baby were uneventful. We review crucialpoints in the treatment and the management dilemmas raised by the patient.
