Two patients with neuroacanthocytosis are described. One presented with parkinsonism and the other resembled diurnal dystonia of the Segawa type. Both patients responded well to dopaminomimetic therapy. A PET scan with fluorodopa revealed a nigrostriatal deficit in the first patient.

Résumé:

RÉSUMÉ:

Nous décrivons deux patients avec neuro-acanthocytose. Un des patients s'est présenté avec du parkinsonisme et l'autre avec une dystonie diurne de type Segawa. Les deux patients ont bien répondu à la thérapie dopaminomimétique. Un PET scan à la fluorodopa a révélé un déficit nigrostrié chez le premier patient.
