An EEG study of Wilson's disease

Introduction: Wilson's disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism. In addition to hepatic and extrapyramidal motor clinical symptoms, patients with Wilson's disease also exhibit subclinical disorders of other central nervous pathways. However, abnormalities of electroencephalography are reported inconsistently and infrequently. Methods: In this study, electroencephalography was performed in 38 patients with Wilson's disease (26 patients with the neurological form, 12 patients with the non-neurological form) undergoing long-term medicamentous therapy.
