¨A doença de Huntington (DH) é uma doença neurodegenerativa autossômica dominante classificada entre as coreias. Sua gênese está na repetição exagerada do trinucleotídeo CAG no braço curto do cromossomo 4(4p16.3). Além de sintomas motores, a DH é caracterizada por sintomas cognitivos e comportamentais que impactam na capacidade funcional dos pacientes. A progressão dos sintomas neuropsiquiátricos e déficits cognitivos ocorre paralelamente à neurodegeneração. A natureza desses sintomas é muito dinâmica, sendo que os desafios clínicos mais comuns incluem disfunção executiva, apatia, depressão e irritabilidade.  É uma doença genética que provoca a destruição progressiva dos neurônios no cérebro humano. Os sintomas psiquiátricos, como agitação, sintomas depressivos, maniformes, delírios e alucinações, podem ocorrer em até 50% dos casos antes das manifestações neurológicas. O achado de atrofia do núcleo caudado em exames de neuroimagem sugere o diagnóstico de DH, mas a confirmação diagnóstica é realizada pela pesquisa genética da expansão do CAG com 40 ou mais repetições. O exame genético positivo apresenta 100% de especificidade e 98,8% de sensibilidade. A DH deteriora progressivamente as habilidades físicas e mentais humanas, e é incurável. O tratamento é sintomático e realizado em bases empíricas. Quanto maior a ação bloqueadora do receptor dopaminérgico D2, maior o efeito anti-coréico; porém, o uso de antipsicóticos típicos pode induzir ou exacerbar sinais extrapiramidais. Assim, o uso de antipsicóticos atípicos têm sido recomendado.¨

¨O tremor essencial (TE) é o mais comum entre os transtornos do movimento. Ele é muito mais comum do que a doença de Parkinson. Tem sido descrito como postural, cinético e até como um tremor esporádico em repouso. Geralmente é bilateral, está presente com diferentes tarefas e interfere nas atividades da vida diária. Embora o tremor essencial possa se manifestar no início da vida adulta, a maioria dos pacientes não apresenta tratamento até 60 anos. Após 69 anos de idade tende a progredir lentamente.  Uma história de tremor aparentemente autossômica dominante é com frequência observada no TE. O tremor envolvendo a cabeça é mais típico de TE. Em geral, o TE é um achado isolado de tremor, enquanto a doença de Parkinson está associada a uma postura inclinada, marcha arrastada e perda de memória. Diferente da doença de Parkinson, o TE não leva a complicações graves. O tremor essencial frequentemente melhora com doses baixas de álcool. A base do tratamento do tremor essencial são os betabloqueadores ou a primidona. Casos grave de TE podem necessitar cirurgia, como a colocação de um estimulador cerebral profundo.¨
