Myoclonus in adult Huntington's disease

Abstract

Two brothers with clinically definite adult Huntington's disease developed disabling myoclonus years after the first signs of the disease. Their electroencephalograms were consistent with a primary generalized epilipsy, although neither man had seizures. The myoclonus was controlled with valproic acid therapy.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/50341/1/410290217_ftp.pd
