  • Title: [Patients at the memory clinic with choreatic movements].
    Author: Klompe LA, Eerenberg JG, Verschoor CJ.
    Journal: Tijdschr Gerontol Geriatr; 2011 Feb; 42(1):29-33. PubMed ID: 21400960.
    Abstract:
    In this case-report we present two patients who were referred to the memory clinic. In both cases there is doubt about the earlier diagnosis. During the physical examination choreatic movements were observed. After repeating diagnostic tests, both patients were diagnosed with Huntington's disease. The dementia with this disease is often preceded by psychiatric symptoms, which makes it quite difficult to diagnose, especially in an early stage of the disease. That is why it is essential that, in case of even the slightest doubt or confronted with new insights, geriatricians should see patients again in the memory clinic and repeat nosologic diagnosis.
