Abstract
We report a girl who exhibited a slowly progressive extrapyramidal disorder with onset
in early infancy. CT examinations demonstrated progressive atrophy of the cerebrum.
At the age of 6 years, acute exacerbation occurred with impairment of consciousness
and automomic functions. During the acute episode, CT revealed lesions in the bilateral
striatum and globus pallidus.
