Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare chronic neurodegenerative disease, characterized by a triad of abnormal choreatic movements and cognitive and psychotic disorders. Interestingly, in spite of the typical triad characteristic of HD, a very small group presents with psychotic features. In this article, we present a 40-year-old female patient with a confirmed diagnosis of HD after molecular evidence of cytosine-adenosine-guanine whose initial symptoms were psychiatric in origin and comprised full-blown psychotic presentation.
