Rickets by definition is a condition in which the bone mineralization is defective. Among the large cause of Rickets (Vitamin D deficiency, gastrointestinal disorders, acidosis, renal tubular abnormalities...), Wilson's disease is a relatively rare cause. There are few cases of Wilson's disease presenting first as rickets in the literature.
Here we present an Afghan girl with Wilson's disease presenting with intractable Rickets.
