Abstract

Neuroacanthocytosis is a rare slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease accompanied with movement disorders, epilepsy, cognitive impairment, multisystem psychiatric symptoms. It is usually investigated in patients presenting with movement disorders, and diagnosis is made based on clinical presentation and the presence of acanthocytes in the peripheral blood. We aimed to present a case of neuroacanthocytosis with prominent cerebellar findings.
