A Man With Progressive Chorea and Abnormal Trunk Movements.

Neuroacanthocytosis (NA) syndromes are a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by the presence of abnormally shaped red blood cells (acanthocytes) and the progressive degeneration of the basal ganglia, leading to various neurological and systemic symptoms. The "rubber man" gait, characterized by distinctive flexions of the neck (manifesting as head drops) and the trunk, is seen in advanced chorea-acanthocytosis.
