Abstract
We report on a case of Chorea‐acanthocytosis (ChAc) in association with Tourettism that consisted of motor and vocal tics, attention deficit–hyperactivity disorder, and obsessive–compulsive disorder in addition to the typical symptoms of ChAc. The subject was compared with his elder sister who had the same disease but milder clinical profile and neuroradiological findings. The [18F]‐2‐fluoro‐2‐deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) findings did not explain the differences in symptomatology between the patient and his sister, although they may have correlated with severity. © 2004 Movement Disorder SocietyKeywords
