La enfermedad de Huntington (EH) ha sido descrita como una afección de causa genética producida por una mutación en la repetición de la secuencia de nucleótidos CAG (citosina-adenina-guanina). Según el estadio que curse la enfermedad, las personas pueden presentar dificultades en el habla, el lenguaje y la deglución. El propósito de este artículo es exponer con detalle dichas dificultades, así como su tratamiento fonoaudiológico. Se destaca que en el habla se encuentran características propias de una disartria hipercinética debido a los movimientos coreicos subyacentes. En el lenguaje, las personas con EH realizan enunciados más cortos y con estructuras sintácticas mucho más simples y presentan dificultades en tareas que requieren procesamiento cognitivo complejo. En la deglución, se presenta una disfagia que progresa a medida que avanza la enfermedad. Una intervención fonoaudiológica oportuna, integral y eficaz es fundamental para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas y contribuir a su bienestar comunicativo.

Huntington’s disease (HD) has been described as a genetic condition caused by a mutation in the CAG (cytosine-adenine-guanine) nucleotide sequence. Depending on the stage of the disease, people may have difficulties in speech, language and swallowing. The purpose of this paper is to describe these difficulties in detail, as well as to provide an account on speech and language therapy approach to this condition. Regarding speech, it is worth noticing that characteristics typical of hyperkinetic dysarthria can be found due to underlying choreic movements. The speech of people with HD tends to show shorter sentences, with much simpler syntactic structures, and difficulties in tasks that require complex cognitive processing. Moreover, swallowing may present dysphagia that progresses as the disease develops. A timely, comprehensive and effective speech-language intervention is essential to improve the quality of life of people and contribute to their communicative welfare.
