Dementia pugilistica: Numerous brain injuries cause disruptions in the fragile circuits that govern brain function.  When injuries occur deep within the brain, they may affect a part of the brain that regulates movements.

Question 4

what can make kayser-fleischer rings?

Accepted Answer

Copper: This is a deposit of copper on the eye due to underlying wilson's disease.  It usually does not affect the vision but is occasionally a clue to the fact that wilson's disease exists in the first place.

Question 5

do kayser-fleischer rings only present in the color brown?

Accepted Answer

No.: Not exactly sure what you mean by that.  The rings are due to the deposition of copper complexes in the periphery of the iris. The color is described as brownish to green / gray.  They cannot reliably be seen by visual inspection.  A slit lamp exam is required. If you can see these easily there is usually a lot of copper and a lot of symptoms.

Question 6

can you tell me how to tell if i have kayser-fleischer rings?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It would require a close examination of your eyes. Please see an ophthalmologist for a detailed examination.

Question 7

what is the definition or description of: kayser fleischer rings?

Accepted Answer

Copper: In Wilson's, a dread disease in which the body cannot dispose of extra copper via the biliary system, the overload is eventually visible as a ring around the edges of the corenas of the eye. By then, there's usually serious damage elsewhere. The best screen for Wilson's includes urinary copper and the absence of the KF ring proves nothing. Best wishes.
