D Adamec et al. Rev Neurol (Paris). 2011 Nov.

Abstract

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an uncommon inherited dermatological disorder characterized by a high degree of skin photosensitivity with development of carcinomas at an early age. Neurological manifestations may be encountered in XP but few detailed descriptions have been provided. Here we describe a sister and a brother presenting chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, ataxia and polyneuropathy related to XP.
