Huntington's Disease (HD), an autosomal dominant disorder of mid-life onset, is characterized by progressive involuntary choreiform movement, psychological change and dementia. We present here two cases of Huntington's disease. One case has family history, but the other has none.

Huntington's disease (HD), an autosomal dominant dominant disorder of mid-life onset, is characterized by progressive involuntary choreiform movement, psychological change and dementia. We present here one case of Huntington's disease, who was admitted at Seoul National University Hospital from 2nd Oct. to 16 Oct. 1985.

Huntington's disease(HD) is a neurcdegenerative disorder caused by a highly penetrant autosomal dominant genetic defect. It is characterized by adult onset progressive chorea, psychological change, and dementia with relentless deterioration. Until now the reported cases are very rare in Korea, so we presented here two cases of definite HD.

This is a case report of 47 year-old male patient with Huntington's chorea. Huntington's chorea is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. The first symptoms of Huntington's chorea usually occur in the fourth to fifth decade and the gene is complete penetrance. The disease is characterized by both progressive motor abnormality, typically chorea, and intellectual deterioration commonly accompanied by prominent psychiatric symptoms including severe depression. Although the prevalence of Huntington's chorea is only 5-10 in 100,000 in Europe, the reported cases are extremely rare in this country until now.

The differential diagnosis of chorea can be challenging in patients without a family history of Huntington's disease or acute-onset hemichorea with stroke. A 50-year-old woman presented with generalized choreic movements and gait disturbance that first appeared 1 month previously. An extensive diagnostic workup including genetic testing, neuroimaging, and various laboratory investigations revealed that this patient had developed chorea as a result of mercury poisoning. She was treated successfully with chelation therapy.
