Abstract

In the present work the Authors report one case of Wilson's disease showing peculiar characteristics diagnosed in pediatric-age patients. In this case, a deep electrophysiological visual analysis was carried out six years after diagnosis. The evoked visual potential alterations might be connected to a retina dysfunction. Further studies should be carried out in order to support such hypothesis.
