Cooccurrence of Chorea-Acanthocytosis and Mesial Temporal Sclerosis: A Possible Role of Caudate Nucleus

Mehri Salari et al. Case Rep Neurol Med. 2017.

Abstract

Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) is an orphan disease, caused by mutations on chromosome 9. Epileptic seizures of mesial temporal origin can be a predominant symptom. We report on a 29-year-old woman with ChAc and bilateral MTS. Previously, few patients with coexisting ChAc and MTS were reported. The underlying pathophysiology is unknown, and further studies are needed.
