Abstract excerpt

Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome (HSS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive dementia, dystonia, ataxia, and rigidity. An atypical form of adult-onset HSS was observed in a 36-year-old man presenting with progressive dysarthria. Markedly dysarthric speech and a weak atrophic tongue associated with a neurogenic pattern of motor unit recruitment in bulbar-supplied muscles on electromyography led...
