Huntington's Disease is a chronic, progressive, hereditary disorder of unknown etiology. Onset occurs between 35 and 42 years of age and is characterized by
chorea
, behavioral changes, dementia, and irregular gait.
Dyslalia
is a common feature due to the severe darting movements of the tongue and head. Huntington's Disease is rarely diagnosed in children (less than 1% of all cases are documented in children under 10 years of age).

The findings are presented, and the management of patients with Huntington's Disease is discussed.
