Rationale:Wilson's disease (WD), or hepatolenticular degeneration, is an autosomal recessive disorder with a prevalence of 1:50,000 to 1:100,000 live births.Patient concerns:A 26-year-old primipara with WD was admitted to our hospital, due to awaiting delivery. Her main symptoms were slightly higher total bile acid (TBA) and bilateral depressed edema of lower limbs.Diagnosis:She was at 38 weeks and 4 days of gestation with a 15-year history of WD, controlled with penicillamine in the past and replaced by zinc preparations from three months before pregnancy.Outcomes:General anesthesia was successfully administered for a female with WD undergoing cesarean delivery.Lesson:General anesthesia can be administered in an asymptomatic primigravida with WD. Appropriate anesthetics choice can effectively minimize the rates of complications and sequelae.
