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 (SC) is a disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by sudden, involuntary, arrhythmic, clonic, and purposeless movements. SC appears to provide a model for understanding various neuropsychiatric dysfunctions. Its relationship with attentional deficits, obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) as well as movement disorders

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.

Therapeutische Umschau, 2007
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.

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.

A middle-aged Asian man had gait difficulty progressing over several years. His speech had gradually become slurred with involuntary tongue biting. He was the product of a consanguineous marriage with no other relevant family history. MR scan of brain showed bilateral caudate atrophy.

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2006
The differential diagnosis, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment of late-onset chorea are reviewed. Late-onset chorea is rare and has a heterogeneous causation. A systematic approach to geriatric chorea greatly enhances a correct diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis is important because many causes of chorea are treatable or or, when heritable, may have ...

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 ...
