Abstract

Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome is a rare neurodegenerative disease of autosomal recessive inheritance which presents in childhood or early adulthood with dystonia, dysarthria, rigidity and choreoathetosis. Here we present an unusual case of atypical Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome with onset during adolescence and rapid progression in a young female patient who showed the characteristic "eye of the tiger" appearance on magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] of brain. This reporting intends to highlight Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome as a rare cause of extrapyramidal manifestations and the interesting radiologic picture of the disease.

Keywords: dystonia; extrapyramidal; eye of the tiger; neurodegeneration; pantothenate kinase 2
