    This study details a patient with Menkes Syndrome, highlighting characteristic clinical and pathological findings, including low copper levels and unique hair morphology. The research analyzes current debates surrounding this rare genetic disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Genetics
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Menkes Syndrome is a rare X-linked recessive disorder affecting copper metabolism.
    • It leads to severe neurological deficits and connective tissue abnormalities.

    Observation:

    • The study presents an anatomoclinical case of Menkes Syndrome.
    • Observed were typical clinical, radiological, and anatomopathological changes.
    • Distinctive hair abnormalities were documented using scanning electron microscopy.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited significantly low serum copper levels.
    • Pathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of Menkes Syndrome.
    • Electron microscopy revealed characteristic pili torti and other hair shaft abnormalities.
