“…Neuroacanthocytosis is a rare inherited metabolic disorder. Clinically it is characterised by both haematological features, acanthocytosis on blood film, and neurological features, including various movement disorders and neuropsychiatric problems (2,3). It results from mutations in the chorein gene on chromosome 9q21.3 (4).…”

Antisocial behaviour orders are legally constituted civil orders which aim to stop undesirable behaviour as part of United Kingdom government plans for crime reduction. They have been increasingly used since their introduction in 1999 and have attracted much media attention. The need to consider neurological illness as a possible cause of behaviour deemed anti-social is illustrated by a patient eventually diagnosed with neuroacanthocytosis.

“…A canthocytosis refers to abnormal red blood cells (RBCs) with irregular, long, spiculated cytoplasmic creations on the peripheral blood smear. These abnormal blood cells are often confused with echinocytes (or burr cells), which resemble burdock flower heads (burrs) (Zeman and Shenton, 2004) characterised by hooked scales. Both types of blood cells may coexist in neuroacanthocytosis and other diseases in one patient (Brecher and Bessis, 1972).…”

Neuroacanthocytosis -phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous disorders associated with acanthocytosis -are a group of abnormalities which affect the basal ganglion, causing movement disorders, other neurological symptoms and also cognitive and neuropsychiatric impairments. There are few reports on neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological symptom development in the course of the disease. We described a 33-year-old female patient, who was diagnosed with choreaacanthocytosis associated with neurological, psychiatric and neuropsychological disorders. The neurological disorders included increasing involuntary movements of face and tongue, upper limb chorea, dysarthric speech, slight upper limb deep reflexes, vivid knee jerks, tonic-clonic seizures and absence of Achilles reflexes. Psychiatrically, she was depressed and presented with obsessive thinking. Neuropsychological assessment revealed increasing dysfunctions of attention, immediate memory, learning, verbal fluency, praxia, calculia and difficulties in adjusting behaviour to environmental conditions and in flexible correction of wrong responses. Neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological dysfunctions should be considered in the differential diagnosis to ensure proper diagnosis and management, especially when differentiating disorders in patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms, chorea, or in the case of late (in adulthood) onset of Tourette's syndrome.
