| Background: Treatment of Huntington disease (HD) is palliative and limited to reducing choreiform movements and behavioral disturbances. Choreiform dyskinesia with acute onset and protracted course following fluoxetine treatment. In contrast, with Huntington disease, for example, there is a progressive loss of GABA/enkephalin neurons in the striatum that project to the external globus pallidus, and as a result large-amplitude, irregular, involuntary choreiform movements occur. |
