Copper deficiency (hypocupremia) can cause myelopathy, a spinal cord disorder. This case highlights acquired copper deficiency as a newly recognized cause of myelopathy in adults.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Nutritional Science

Background:

  • Myelopathy, a disorder affecting the spinal cord, can arise from various causes.
  • Copper deficiency (hypocupremia) is an increasingly recognized etiological factor.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old male patient presented with symptoms indicative of myelopathy.
  • Diagnostic evaluation revealed significant copper deficiency.

Findings:

  • The patient's myelopathy was directly associated with acquired copper deficiency.
  • This case underscores the link between hypocupremia and neurological dysfunction.

Implications:

  • Acquired copper deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of adult myelopathy.
  • Early detection and management of copper deficiency may prevent or reverse myelopathy.
