โœฆ Synopsis

CT scans of twelve patients with Huntington's disease were compared with a large series of normal and abnormal scans. The frontal horn/ bicaudate ratio in the Huntington's disease group was found to be much smaller than and statistically different from the normal or abnormal CT scan groups. The CT scan appears to be a useful adjunct in the evaluation of patients with suspected Huntington's disease.

## Abstract We compared perfusion of prefrontal, motor, and sensory cortices and basal ganglia in 29 Huntington's disease (HD) patients and nine controls. We found a significant reduction in perfusion in patients with HD of short (<6 years, n=10), medium (6โ€“10 years, n=8), and long duration (>10 ye
