“…We were unable to establish a definite cause of chorea in 8 cases (cases [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38], despite an extensive work-up. We suspected frontotemporal dementia in 4 cases (cases 30, 33,34 and 37) and hereditary ataxia in 2 patient (case 32 and 36) although the findings of genetic analyses were negative for hexanucleotide expansion (C9ORF72), progranulin mutation and/or common dominant hereditary/recessive ataxias (SCA 1,2-3-6,7,8, 17,36, DRPLA and Friedreich).…”

“…Chorea may be observed in many systemic and metabolic conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, liver and renal disease, hyperthyroidism, electrolyte disturbances and vitamin B12 deficiency [8,10,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Suspicion of metabolic disorders can be especially high when movement disorders, including chorea, are observed in emergency settings [8,10].…”

Chorea can have a wide variety of causes including neurodegenerative, pharmacological, structural, metabolic, infectious, immunologic and paraneoplastic processes.We reviewed the clinical records of patients with apparently sporadic choreic movements and no relevant family history, who presented to our neurology department (Hospital Fundación Jimenez Diaz) between 1991 and 2022.We detected 38 cases of apparent sporadic chorea (ASC); Our analysis revealed 5 cases of genetic chorea (including 3 cases with Huntington´s disease) while 6 cases were autoimmune/hematological; 6 drug-related chorea, 5 metabolic-vascular, 5 due to miscellaneous conditions and 4 were of mixed etiology. No clear etiology was identified in 8 cases. The differential diagnosis of ASC is extensive and challenging. Highlights• Chorea can have a wide variety of genetic and sporadic causes• We reviewed the clinical records of patients with apparently sporadic chorea (ASC), who presented to our neurology department over the last 30 years • We detected 38 cases of apparent ASC; Our analysis revealed a wide array of different sporadic conditions and 5 cases of genetic chorea • The differential diagnosis of ASC is extensive and challenging Garcia Ruiz et al.
