[Huntington chorea in childhood].

By the case report of a 7 years old girl problems and difficulties in diagnosing early manifested Chorea Huntington are discussed. Dementia, rigor and akinesis are the presenting signs; choreatic movements are usually not present. Seizures occur frequently. Family history gives important informations; the autosomal dominant gene mostly is transmitted by the father.
