A Review on Some Associated Disorders with Chorea Based on a Neurobiochemical Perspective
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.
Conclusion
It is important for clinical neuroscientists and neurobiochemists to have knowledge about the disorders which can accompanied by chorea. Having such knowledge is of importance to consider the disorders which may present themselves with chorea with or without other signs and symptoms and approach the affected patients with such disorders more accurately and with more precision at the bedside.
Having this knowledge is also of importance for basic scientists to study about chorea, relevant pathologies and pathophysiology with more precision in basic study settings.
The author recommends studying other references in neuroscience, neurobiology and neurochemistry to gain more knowledge about the introduced pathologies in this study which discussing more about them in more detail is beyond the scope of this short review.
