Abstract

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, leading to a wide range of motor, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. This case report presents the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of a patient with Huntington’s disease. The patient, a middleaged individual, exhibited symptoms of chorea, cognitive impairment, and psychiatric disturbances. The diagnosis was confirmed through genetic testing, revealing the presence of the HTT gene mutation. Multidisciplinary management involving pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions was implemented to address the patient’s symptoms and improve their quality of life. Despite the challenges posed by HD, early diagnosis and comprehensive care can help alleviate symptoms and enhance patient outcomes.
