Abstract
Sensory evoked potentials were studied in 15 patients with Wilson''s disease. Thirteen patients were investigated with pattern reversal visual stimulation. A prolonged P 100 latency of the VEP was present in 7 patients. Brain stem auditory responses were evoked in 12 patients. Prolongation of III-V and I-V interpeak latency was found in 8 patients. The evoked potential studies demonstrated subclinical disturbances in optic and caudal brainstem auditory pathways. Further studies are in progress to evaluate the role of these techniques in monitoring the therapy of newly diagnosed cases.Keywords
