Abstract
Lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) choline (CH) levels were measured in patients with Huntington's chorea (n = 14). This group was found not to differ significantly from normal controls (n = 13). The values for lumbar CSF Ch levels in the normal subjects were comparable with previously reported values. Of the choreic patients, seven were put on haloperidol treatment (4--6 mg daily). The CSF choline level remained unchanged with this treatment after 20 days. CSF cholinesterase activity was measured in the control and choreic group. The results were not significantly different.Entities:
