Hemichorea – A Rare Sequela of Striatal Infarction

Chorea is a hyperkinetic movement disorder that manifests as random involuntary movements with an irregular, flowing, and writhing quality. It is often described in the setting of hereditary neurodegenerative conditions; however, it may be secondary to medications and autoimmune, cerebrovascular, or infectious diseases. We present a rare case of hemichorea associated with a hemorrhagic stroke in the contralateral striatum.
