Neuropsychological and electrophysiological examination of a patient with Wilson's disease.
A patient with Wilson's disease underwent neuropsychological and electrophysiological examination 4 months following symptom onset. Although motor deficits were more severe, there was considerable impairment of cognitive and intellectual function. Auditory evoked responses were also abnormal in this patient. This case is unusual because of the early severe cognitive deficits.
