Study of Retinal Vascular Parameters in Patients With Wilson's Disease

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Wilson Disease
Registration Number
NCT04408300
Lead Sponsor
Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild
Brief Summary

The rare disease reference center " Wilson disease and other rare copper-related diseases" of the Rothschild Foundation follows a large number of patients with Wilson's with varying degrees of impairment and located at different times of their care.

Many people with Wilson's disease have a characteristic greenish-brown ring, known as Kayser-Fleischer, appearing at the periphery of the cornea due to a deposit of copper at the Descemet membrane. As a general rule, if the patient is compliant with his treatment, the ring usually disappears within a few years, although it may persist in some patients. However, apart from the stage of diagnosis, and the evolution of the ring, ophthalmological examinations are little used for the follow-up of these patients.

The objective of this study is to describe the retinal parameters, in particular vascular with two new retinal imaging technologies (OCT-A :Optical Coherence Tomography-Angiography , Adaptive optics) in patients with Wilson's disease and to correlate them with the parameters of the usual follow-up of these patients (hepatic assessment, exchangeable plasma copper, neurological scores, compliance, etc.).
