Abstract
Serial somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were obtained from a patient with Wilson''s disease who had had liver transplantation. Correlating with recovery of hepatic encephalopathy and liver functions following the surgery, SEPs showed progressive normalization of peak latencies and waveforms. The data indicate that SEP may be a useful objective method in assessing recovery of cerebral functions following liver transplantation.Keywords
