ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of atrophy of the globus pallidus in a woman aged 25 years, diagnosed alive. The diagnosis was based to a large extent on MRI findings. Atrophy of the globus pallidus (AGP) is a rare disease, recognized mostly in neuropathological examination. Its etiopathogenesis has not been explained so far. Since no specific abnormalities have been detected in laboratory tests, the clinical diagnosis of AGP is only probable. However, AGP should be suspected if such extrapyramidal symptoms are present as dystonia, choreoathetosis, muscular rigidity, and characteristic localisation of lesions in MRI. At present only comprehensive symptomatic treatment is possible.
