Chorea is a relatively common movement disorder that can be caused by a large variety of structural, autoimmune, neurodegenerative, pharmacologic, and metabolic disturbances of basal ganglia function. The diagnosis is rarely indicated by the phenotypic appearance of chorea and can be challenging, with many patients remaining undiagnosed.

This article reviews the clinical approach to the diagnosis of adult patients presenting with chorea, using Huntington disease (HD) as a point of reference, and presents the clinical elements that help in the diagnostic workup. Principles of management for chorea and some of the associated features of other choreic syndromes are also described ...

This article provides an overview of the approach to chorea in clinical practice, beginning with a discussion of the phenomenologic features of chorea and how to differentiate it from other movement disorders. The diagnostic approach, clinical features of important acquired and genetic choreas, and therapeutic principles are also discussed.

RHEUMATIC chorea is named for Thomas Sydenham, who first described this disorder and mistakenly called it St. Vitus's dance. St. Vitus's dance was actually an entirely separate phenomenon. During the Middle Ages, in a setting of widespread religious mysticism, ignorance, and superstition, mass outbreaks of wild emotional dancing occurred throughout ...

Mit Chorea (griechisch: «Tanz») bezeichnet der Neurologe unwillkürliche, unregelmäßige, kurzzeitige, nichtrepetitive und zufällig verteilte Muskelkontraktionen mit Bewegungseffekt. Sie treten abrupt auf und können alle Körperregionen erfassen, sich aber auch von einer Körperregion zur anderen ausbreiten.

Chorea gravidarum is a rare maternal complication during pregnancy. Like the better known chorea minor it shows extrapyramidal symptoms with involuntary movements, lack of coordination, slurred speech and psychic disorders. The neurological state is normal except for a loss of muscle tone.

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1996
The Huntington's disease mutation and its protein product are widely expressed in the brain, although the link to presumed excitotoxic damage is unknown. The availability of the genetic test increased the study of preclinical changes in the disease and the identification of more rare choreic illnesses.

Sydenham's chorea (SC) is a manifestation of acute rheumatic fever (ARF). Although the incidence of SC has declined significantly, particularly in developed areas, it remains the most common cause of acute chorea in children worldwide. Recent data show that SC accounts for almost all cases of chorea in children in the United States.

Sydenham's chorea is the most common acquired movement disorder of adolescence. This clinical manifestation of acute rheumatic fever has a clear and documented relationship with Group A streptococcal infections. The symptoms are involuntary choreiform movements that can affect the face and all extremities.

Chorea, a movement disorder characterised by a continuous flow of unpredictable muscle contractions, has a myriad of genetic and non-genetic causes. Although autoimmune processes are rare aetiology of chorea, they are relevant both for researchers and clinicians.
