[Unilateral exophthalmos revealing ruptured giant intracavernous aneurysm of the ruptured internal carotid artery: clinical case].

Giant aneurysm of the intracranial carotid artery is a relatively rare disorder which can lead to life-threatening consequences. Ophthalmologic symptoms, mainly oculomotor nerve palsies, usually reveal lesions of the cavernous sinuses. We report the case of a 39-year old female patient presenting with rapidly progressive unilateral exophthalmos (A, B) and binocular diplopia associated with headaches affect one half of the head causing a single episode of vomiting evolving in a context of apyrexia and general state preservation.

[Kayser-Fleischer ring in Wilson's disease].

Wilson's disease is a copper toxicosis characterized by an overload in tissue copper (mainly hepatic, cerebral and pericorneal). It is caused by ATP7B mutations which incorporate copper into ceruloplasmin in the liver and pass out excess copper into the bile. This disease can be adequately treated if diagnosed early.
