Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome).

European journal of paediatric neurology : EJPN : official journal of the European Paediatric Neurology Society - 1 Jan 2002

Gordon Neil

Abstract excerpt

The arguments over the nomenclature of the syndrome are reviewed. Ethical considerations favour replacing the present eponyms with the title of panthothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN), now that more is known about the cause of the condition. The symptoms and signs of the syndrome are described, and these can present from infancy to adult life. Dystonia, involuntary movements and spasticity are...
