Abstract: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare, progressive, fatal, and autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a triad of abnormal choreatic movements, cognitive disorders, and psychotic symptoms. A very small group presents with psychotic features. In this report, we present a case of HD with psychotic features and a diagnosis of HD. We describe a 29-year-old male with a history of behavior changes, delusions of persecution, and auditory hallucinations, which on mental status examination were suggestive of organic delusional disorder (schizophrenia-like).
