✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Background:

The X‐linked McLeod syndrome belongs to the group of neuroacanthocytosis syndromes and has a Huntington‐disease–like phenotype with a choreatic movement disorder, cognitive alterations, and psychiatric symptoms. Another neuroacanthocytosis syndrome, the autosomal recessive chorea‐acanthocytosis, has a similar presentation, but distinct clinical features, believed to be characteristic, such as tongue protrusion dystonia, feeding dystonia, and rubber‐man–like appearance.

Methods:

This work comprised a case series of 3 patients with McLeod syndrome.

Results:

The 3 patients with McLeod syndrome developed severe feeding dystonia and tongue protrusion as well as rubber‐man–like appearance in 1 patient during the course of the disease.

Conclusion:

These observations indicate that there is an extended phenotypic overlap between McLeod syndrome and chorea‐acanthocytosis. © 2011 Movement Disorder Society
