A case of chorea-acanthocytosis (CA) syndrome is described. The presence of acanthocytes has usually been considered an important diagnostic marker of CA. However, it is not specific and other neurological diseases have to be considered. In the present report we rule out other diagnostic possibilities and show that the acanthocytes in the peripheral blood smears can appear even later during the course of the disease.
本文描述了一例舞蹈病-棘红细胞增多症(CA)综合征病例。棘红细胞的存在通常被认为是CA的重要诊断标志物。然而,它并不具有特异性,必须考虑其他神经系统疾病。在本报告中,我们排除了其他诊断可能性,并表明外周血涂片上的棘红细胞甚至可能在疾病过程中更晚出现。
