Early-onset Huntington's chorea. Diagnostic clues.
A patient with early-onset Huntington's chorea is described. The diagnosis had been overlooked during previous contacts with psychiatric services because there was no family history, and features typical of the adult disease were absent. Distinctive findings on CT scan and electroencephalography were observed.
