Abstract
A 20 year old woman presented with transient hemichorea in 1993. Computed tomography of the brain was normal. From June 1995, episodes of hemichorea reoccurred together with severe frontal headaches. In November 1995 she was admitted to our hospital with rapid deterioration of vision and behavioural changes.Keywords
