Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report a 10-year-old Down syndrome patient who developed dystonia, choreoathetosis, dysarthria, and dysphagia beginning with hemiparesis. Cranial computed tomography disclosed bilateral calcification in the globus pallidus which resembled a sign of premature aging. Conversely, the clinical course and magnetic resonance imaging findings resembled those of Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome. |
