  • Title: Wilson's disease, a reversible dementia: case report.
    Author: Rosselli M, Lorenzana P, Rosselli A, Vergara I.
    Journal: J Clin Exp Neuropsychol; 1987 Aug; 9(4):399-406. PubMed ID: 3597731.
    Abstract:
    A case of advanced Wilson's disease with clear dementing features is presented. Neuropsychological evaluation before treatment revealed intellectual deterioration particularly in memory and performance tasks. The patient was treated with Penicillamine, a copper-chelating agent, for 7 months, with notable improvement in her dementia and in her motor signs. A second battery of neuropsychological tests demonstrated the improvement in the mental aspects. These findings support the concept of Wilson's disease being a reversible dementia.
