Wilson's disease can rarely present with respiratory dyskinesia manifesting as an unusual, repetitive, nonproductive cough.

May warrant Wilson's disease evaluation in young adults with unexplained cough; single case leaves prevalence of respiratory dyskinesia open.
A 26-year-old man developed an unusual repetitive, nonproductive cough. Extensive pulmonary and otolaryngology investigations failed to disclose a cause. It was only after he developed additional neurological manifestations ultimately leading to the diagnosis of Wilson's disease (WD) that a neurological basis for the cough was suspected. Features of the cough suggest it was a form of respiratory dyskinesia, a previously unreported presentation of WD.

Crone et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Wilson's disease (n=1). Wilson's disease was evaluated. A 26-year-old man presented with an unusual repetitive, nonproductive cough as a previously unreported respiratory dyskinesia manifestation of Wilson's disease.
