Abstract
Onset of Huntington’s disease (HD) before 10 years constitutes less than 1% of all patients with HD. We report 5 year old boy with complex presentation having features of both Sub acute Sclerosing Pan encephalitis (SSPE) and early onset HD evaluated by history, clinical and neurologic examination, electroencephalography, cerebrospinal fluid examination and neuro imaging. The genetic workup confirmed the clinical diagnosis of HD, which makes this case as first case with SSPE and early onset HD reported in literature.
