Abstract
Huntington's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that typically manifests with Choreic movements, psychological disorders, and cognitive decline. Some patients can initially present atypical movements other than the usual symptoms, such as parkinsonism, ataxia, and dystonia. In this report, we present an HD patient who presented with atypical parkinsonism.
