Neurologic Appearance

Ross Edward Pettit, MD; Karen Gae Berdal, RN, PNP

Arch Neurol. 1984;41(9):1001-1002.

Abstract
• A 25-year-old man was first seen with a neurologic disorder that resembled a spinocerebellar degeneration and parkinsonism. A peripheral smear revealed the characteristic peroxidase-positive panleukocytic granules associated with the Chédiak-Higashi syndrome. He did not have any associated oculocutaneous abnormalities. The Chédiak-Higashi syndrome may appear primarily with neurologic dysfunction and should be considered in a differential diagnosis of children and young adults first seen with a spinocerebellar degeneration or movement disorder.
