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.

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.

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

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.

IN A STUDY of 107 patients with chorea (Sydenham), one of us (B. M. K.) and Mirman 1 observed that chorea with an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate was in most instances associated with active rheumatic fever. Patients who (in the absence of cardiac failure) had a normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate during the early part of their chorea had no

Sydenham’s chorea (SC) is a delayed complication of certain Aβ-hemolytic streptococcal infections and serves as a major criterion for the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever. SC is characterized by chorea, muscle weakness, and a number of neuropsychiatric symptoms. It is an antibody-mediated disorder in which patients produce antibodies that cross-react

Sydenham Chorea: Putaminal Enlargement
Journal of Child Neurology, 2020Background: Our aim in this study was to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies in the detection of brain regions effected by Sydenham chorea and to determine whether they provided data regarding the pathogenesis of Sydenham chorea.

To the Editor. —The case of Sydenham's chorea reported by Dr Swedo 1 was an interesting and well-presented lesson. However, I wish to take issue with one sentence: "An electroencephalogram [EEG] revealed diffuse posterior cortical slowing." This is a confusing description of the EEG. Was the slowing pathologic or the normal posterior slowing of youth?

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.
