Chorea-acanthocytosis is an uncommon neurodegenerative disorder. Early diagnosis is often challenging. The triad of orofacial dyskinesia, epileptic seizures, and hyperCKemia should alert neurologists of a neuroacanthocytosis syndrome. The diagnosis can be confirmed by detection of chorein deficiency
Neuroacanthocytosis is a group of disorders, clinically characterized with movement disorders, self-mutilation and seizures. There is little information in the literature regarding the clinical and EEG findings of the accompanying seizures in this neurodegenerative disorder. A 46-year-old man who
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to characterize the clinical features of nine patients in three families with chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) sharing the same rare c.2343del mutation in the VPS13A gene.
METHODS
Genetic test results, clinical description, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and
BACKGROUND
Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by involuntary movements, seizures, cognitive changes, myopathy, and axonal neuropathy.
METHODS
We report a patient who presented with gait impairment and dysarthria. Clinical and neurophysiological
UNASSIGNED
To determine a molecular diagnosis for a large multigenerational family of South Asian ancestry with seizures, hyperactivity, and episodes of tongue biting.
UNASSIGNED
Two affected individuals from the family were analyzed by whole-genome sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq X platform, and
Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) is an orphan disease, caused by mutations on chromosome 9. Epileptic seizures of mesial temporal origin can be a predominant symptom. We report on a 29-year-old woman with ChAc and bilateral MTS. Previously, few patients with coexisting ChAc and MTS were reported. The
A 50-year old Chinese woman with the rare neurological disorder of Choreoacanthocytosis is described. Her illness is characterised by seizures, buccolingual dyskinesia, choreiform movements, arreflexia and mild sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Acanthocytes were present in her peripheral blood in large
Neuroacanthocytosis is a progressive multisystem disease with a wide range of symptoms. The involuntary movements mainly include chorea and orofaciolingual dyskinesias. The descriptive name of the disease refers to the presence of abnormal erythrocytes in peripheral blood. Two siblings are
Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) is a rare neurodegenerative movement disorder with variable clinical features, including movement disorders, cognitive decline, myopathy, neuropathy, behavioral changes, seizures and acanthocytosis. The majority of ChAc patients display an autosomal recessive mode of
Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) is an uncommon basal ganglia disorder, in which the movement disorder element may be obscured by the predominance of seizures. We report a pertinent case of a patient who had undergone extensive evaluation for epilepsy, including intracranial EEG before finally the
Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the VSP13A gene on chromosome 9q21. It is characterized by neurological symptoms, psychiatric manifestations and multisystem involvement resulting in myopathy, axonal neuropathy and presence of
An 86-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for orobuccolingual dyskinesia. She did not take any medication. Her relatives had no similar symptoms nor consanguineous marriage. Although orobuccolingual dyskinesia was improved by administration of haloperidol for a while, orobuccolingual
Chorea-acanthocytosis is an uncommon neurodegenerative disorder, usually with a low rate of progression. It is characterized by Huntington disease-like involuntary movements, cognitive decline, behavioral changes, seizures and polyneuropathy. Chorea-acanthocytosis belongs to the group of
Chorea-acanthocytosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Its characteristics are orofacial dyskinesia, hyporeflexia, seizures, aberrant behavior, atrophy of the caudate and putamen, and acanthocytes in the blood with a normal level of lipoproteins. We describe three families with
