Medical Encyclopedia Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Huntington Chorea Definition Huntington's disease is an inherited condition characterized by abnormal body movements, dementia , and psychiatric problems. Huntington's disease is a progressive disorder involving wasting (degeneration) of nerve cells in the brain. The disorder was first described in 1872 by George Huntington, an American physician. Huntington's disease is inherited as a single faulty gene on chromosome #4. There is a part of the gene that is repeated in multiple copies. The greater the number of repeats, the more likely it is that the person will develop symptoms and the greater the chance they will occur at a younger age. The disease may occur earlier and more severely in each succeeding affected generation because the number of repeats can increase. Every child of a parent with the disorder has a 50% chance of inheriting Huntington's Disease. Symptoms do not usually appear until adulthood, typically between ages 35 and 50 years old but this depends on the number of repeats found in the gene so it may also appear in younger people. In children it may appear to be Parkinson's disease with rigidity, slow movements, and tremor.

Medical Encyclopedia Medications vary depending on the symptoms. Dopamine blockers such as haloperidol or phenothiazine medications may reduce abnormal behaviors and movements. Reserpine and other medications have been used, with varying success. Drugs like Tetrabenazine and Amantadine are used to try to control extra movements. There has been some evidence to suggest that Co-Enzyme Q10 may minimally decrease progression of the disease.

Extractions: The patient with moderate Huntington's disease, like any person suffering from a chronic disease, can become an easy target for abuse. This can be a result of the mental changes that he or she has undergone, the caregivers inability to adapt fast enough, or the fact that the patient with Huntington's disease is an easily identified victim. The abuse can be either way. A caregiver can abuse the patient and the patient can abuse the caregiver and the rest of the family.

Extractions: Graham Taylor Site Resources available from the Homepage Articles taken from the Sept. 2003 Huntington's News. The Quarterly Newsletter of the Huntington's Disease Associations of New Zealand The Importance of Dental Care in Huntington Disease It should be stated at the outset that the teeth of people with Huntington Disease (HD) are no different from those of other people. They are not innately more susceptible to tooth decay or gum disease, but people with HD do present clinically with more dental problems. For the dentist, treatment of patients with advanced Huntington Disease is difficult. The dentist can be faced with a patient who, needing a number of fillings, cannot open his mouth widely, or cannot sit still, or both. Possible financial difficulties, transport problems, access to dental surgeries, and apathy or resentment in the patient and/or family, all contribute to the fact that treatment is frequently neglected. It is possible that a person with such rampant decay would often be advised to have all teeth removed and full dentures constructed; but for the person with HD this can be the beginning of more problems. Initially a full denture stays in by suction, but more important is the pull of the facial muscles forcing the dentures into place. This muscle activity is automatic, but in HD, such low-level muscle activity is often overridden by uncontrolled involuntary movements that can frequently and spontaneously eject the denture from the mouth. Eating for people experiencing this can be a real trial, further aggravating their dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). For the person with no teeth and no denture an attractive facial appearance is destroyed by loss of cheek and lip support. Consequently, there is a lowering of self-esteem apart from the lack of function.
