Praca przedstawia przypadek 22-letniej pacjentki, u której wystąpiły zaburzenia psychiatryczne jako pierwsze objawy choroby Wilsona (chW). Pacjentkę z rozpoznaniem schizofrenii paranoidalnej przeniesiono do kliniki psychiatrii z powodu niepowodzeń terapeutycznych w ciągu ośmiu miesięcy trwania choroby. Przy przyjęciu uwagę zwracały nasilone objawy pozapiramidowe: wzmożona sztywność mięśniowa, drżenie głowy oraz kończyn, przymusowe zgięciowe ustawienie kończyn górnych, hipomimia, dysfagia, ślinotok, dyzartria oraz spłycony afekt.

Flat affect: A severe reduction in emotional expressiveness. People with depression and schizophrenia often show flat affect. A person with schizophrenia may not show the signs of normal emotion, perhaps may speak in a monotonous voice, have diminished facial expressions, and appear extremely apathetic.
