Maladie de Huntington à début tardif : penser au diagnostic devant des symptômes évocateurs, même dans le grand âge

Huntington's disease is a hereditary neurological disorder transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner. It typically begins in young or middle-aged people. There are also late-onset cases which are under-diagnosed because the symptoms are non-specific. For patients with late-onset Huntington's disease, it is often difficult to retrieve their family history. The development of the disease is usually less serious than cases with early-onset. In this article, we report the case of an 82-year-old patient in order to highlight that this disease can also affect elderly people.
