Huntington's disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder for which there is no cure. Because of the physical impairment and medication side effects, these patients can experience extensive oral disease. A patient presented to the dental clinic with complaints of oral pain and an inability to chew due to extensive caries and periodontal disease. General anesthesia was required to treat his oral problem due to the patient's disease-associated uncontrolled movements, psychological status, and extensive oral disease. As varying anesthesia techniques have been recommended for patients with Huntington's disease, medical consultation was important to restore this individual's oral health.
亨廷顿舞蹈症是一种无法治愈的遗传性神经退行性疾病。由于身体损伤和药物副作用，这些患者可能会出现广泛的口腔疾病。一名患者因广泛的龋齿和牙周疾病，到牙科诊所就诊，主诉口腔疼痛且无法咀嚼。由于该患者与疾病相关的不受控制的运动、心理状态以及广泛的口腔疾病，治疗其口腔问题需要全身麻醉。由于针对亨廷顿舞蹈症患者推荐了不同的麻醉技术，因此进行医学咨询对于恢复该患者的口腔健康很重要。
