Out of these disorders, Chorea is the most common and major form of hyperkinetic disorders. The term Chorea is used to describe jerky, semi purposive movements which may affect the limbs, face or trunk. In other words, Chorea can be defined as explosive, fidgety movements, flitting around the body. They are variable in manifestation even in the same patient at different times. The patient is not able to control them, although they may get worse with anxiety and always disappear during sleep. There are so many different causes for the Chorea.
