Kayser-Fleischer ring
Tuesday 5 August 2008
The Kayser-Fleischer ring is a brown discolouration at the outer margin of the cornea because of the deposition of copper in Descemet membrane. Slit lamp examination is required for secure detection.
The Kayser-Fleischer ring is observed in Wilson disease.
