Muscle responses evoked by transcranial stimulation were studied in three patients with Wilson's disease. Abnormalities indicating involvement of corticospinal tract were demonstrated in one patient. In keeping with recent evoked potential studies, this finding suggests that lesions in Wilson's disease may affect structures other than the extrapyramidal system.
