The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of the following functional systems: somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), visual evoked potentials (VEP), and event related potentials (ERP), in twenty patients with Wilson's disease (WD). VEP and SSEP abnormalities were discovered in S patients respectively (40%), whereas ERP were either absent or, in the case of 10 patients (50%), had significantly prolonged P-300 latencies. Taken together, at least one evoked potential abnormality was discovered in 17 patients (85%]. Only in 3 patients (15%), involving either the isolated hepatic type of disease or short illness duration of the neurological type, were normal evoked potential findings observed. Our findings suggest the usefulness of multimodal evoked potential abnormalities in the evaluation of subclinical manifestations in patients with WD.

Determination Of Copper

Twelve cases of juvenile Wilson's disease are reviewed. Eight presented with hepatic manifestations, and six of these showed a predominance of liver symptomatology throughout their entire illness. It appears that this type of onset is not uncommon when the disease begins in the pre-adolescent period. In childhood, chronic liver disease of unknown etiology should always be screened for Wilson's disease. Careful examination for Kayser-Fleischer rings should repeatedly be made. The finding of cupruria, aminoaciduria without glycosuria or albuminuria, and decreased blood uric acid levels are strongly suggestive of Wilson's disease. Punch biopsy of the liver with visualization of copper by means of an improved modification of the histo-chemical rubeanic acid method or Howell's newer histo-chemical method, or determination of copper content as well as histochemical analysis of liver obtained by surgical biopsy appear to be the only reliable methods at present for proof of diagnosis.
