title: Myoclonus in adult Huntington's disease.
abstract: Two brothers with clinically definite adult Huntington's disease developed disabling myoclonus years after the first signs of the disease. Their electroencephalograms were consistent with a primary generalized epilepsy, although neither man had seizures. The myoclonus was controlled with valproic acid therapy.
