Huntington Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Selective neuronal loss in the striatum leads to chorea and cognitive impairment. It is a progressive disease with onset in midlife, which chronically evolves over many years and for which no curative treatment is available today. A review on the current knowledge of Huntington Disease   was carried out. Etiopathogenic, clinical, diagnostic methods and treatment options   were included.

Keywords : Huntington Disease; autosomal dominant; chorea; chronic; progressive.
