[Disorders of mental functioning in Wilson's disease].
In this article we have presented a review of the literature on psychopathology in Wilson's disease. The descriptions of disorders connected with this disease are sometimes ambiguous, but they cover changes in behaviour and personality, affective disorders and deterioration of cognitive functioning. Psychopathological picture is being correlated with damages in certain cerebral sites and structures. It requires further study to learn about the role of the basal ganglia in higher mental functioning. Wilson's disease is one of the disorders to be analysed in order to broaden our knowledge about behavioral changes caused by damages in the basal ganglia.
