[Acoustically evoked brain stem potential in Wilson disease].

    Summary

    Brainstem acoustic evoked potentials reveal frequent abnormalities in Wilson's disease patients, particularly affecting the pons and mesencephalon. This technique shows promise for early detection and monitoring of preclinical Wilson's disease brainstem dysfunction.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurophysiology

    Context:

    • Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder causing copper accumulation.
    • Brainstem dysfunction can occur in Wilson's disease, impacting neurological function.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the utility of brainstem acoustic evoked potentials (BAEPs) in assessing Wilson's disease patients.
    • To identify specific brainstem pathways affected in Wilson's disease and correlate findings with disease presentation.

    Summary:

    • Brainstem acoustic evoked potentials (BAEPs) were assessed in 48 patients with Wilson's disease.
    • Pathological findings were observed in 73% of patients, predominantly affecting the middle and upper brainstem (pons and mesencephalon).
    • Abnormalities were noted in approximately 30% of patients in the preclinical stage, and were most prevalent in Pseudosklerose and Pseudoparkinsonian forms.

    Impact:

    • BAEPs may serve as a valuable tool for the early detection of brainstem dysfunction in Wilson's disease.
    • This method could aid in monitoring treatment efficacy, especially in preclinical stages.
