Chorea denotes movement disorders. The term is derived from the Ancient Greek “choreia” meaning “dance”. The most common inherited cause of chorea is Huntington’s disease, which formerly was called Huntington’s chorea. However, it was renamed because of the many important, non-movement features characterising the disease.
