Xeroderma pigmentosum: a rare cause of chorea.


Abstract

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an uncommon inherited dermatological disorder characterized by a high degree of skin photosensitivity with development of carcinomas at an early age.

Neurological manifestations may be encountered in XP but few detailed descriptions have been provided.

Here we describe a sister and a brother presenting chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, ataxia and polyneuropathy related to XP.
