Clinical features suggesting a diagnosis of Huntington's chorea in several siblings in a Black Rhodesian family are described. A progressive and eventually fatal mental deterioration accompanied by gradually worsening choreiform movements has until the present time occurred in only a single generation of this family, which precludes a definitive diagnosis based on the triad of family history, chorea and dementia. It is suggested that Huntington's chorea is the most likely diagnosis.
