A case of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy(CADASIL) patient presenting with chorea

ABSTRACT

In cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), clinical presentation with movement disorders such as dystonia and progressive supranuclear palsy-phenotype are rarely reported. None of the CADASIL cases, to our knowledge, has been reported with chorea. Herein, we describe a Korean woman with CADASIL who had presented with chorea. 18F-fl uorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) showed hypometabolism in the right basal ganglia. We found decreased FDG uptake of the right basal ganglia by SPM analysis.
