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 ...

Neurology, 1980
To document possible changing characteristics of Sydenham chorea, we reviewed records of 240 patients with this diagnosis who were seen between 1951 and 1976. A dramatic progressive decline in the number of cases was observed. The syndrome occurred mainly in childhood. Female predominance was apparent only after the 10.

Sydenham chorea is an important cause of acquired chorea in childhood. Although the symptoms of chorea frequently resolve spontaneously in a matter of months, abnormal movements can be debilitating when they are present. Neuropsychologic symptoms may antedate the motor abnormality, may be persistent, and often are of great concern.

Sydenham’s Chorea and Psychopathology
Neuropsychobiology, 2008Sydenham’s chorea is a movement disorder seen in rheumatic fever with basal ganglia pathology. This disorder has been associated with an increased frequency of psychopathology in both the acute choreiform stage and later in life. We conducted a prospective study of 29 subjects with Sydenham’s chorea and 29 age- and sex-matched controls.

Papilledema in Sydenham's Chorea
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1961There are numerous reports of papilledema in association with various disease entities either with 1,2 or without the presence of increased intracranial pressure. 3,4 The association is most frequent with intracranial space occupying lesions such as those produced by brain tumor.

Electroencephalogram in Sydenham's Chorea
Archives of Neurology, 1964"Chorea St. Viti" was described by Sydenham 1 in 1685, but its pathogenesis is not yet completely understood. The disease occurs as a manifestation of rheumatic fever; but in some cases this association cannot be demonstrated, and evidence of an antecedent streptococcal infection is not invariable.

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 and Psychosis
Neuropsychobiology, 2008The medical histories of 600 psychotic and 369 nonpsychotic subjects were examined for the occurrence of rheumatic chorea. There was significantly more rheumatic chorea in the histories of psychotic patients than in nonpsychotics (p < 0.01, chi-square). Neuropathological associations are discussed.

Abstract Sydenham’s chorea is a movement disorder characterized by facial/oral grimaces, fine, fast, uncoordinated movements often resulting from attempted voluntary actions, hypotonia, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.1 In the majority of cases the onset of Sydenham’s chorea is diagnosed between the ages of 5 and 15, with females three
