Abstract

Chorea which is characterized by random, brief, irregular and arrhythmic movements which would start from a body part and go to another one, in most of the cases has association with various secondary features like parakinesis, athetosis, ballism, partial suppressibility, motor impersistence, gait and deep tendon reflex abnormalities. The movements in chorea have low amplitude in general and all of the muscles can be engaged in such unpredictable movements. There are some disorders which have association with chorea. This brief review tries to point to some disorders which have association with chorea from a Neurobiochemical perspective.
