Hemichorea due to tuberculoma has not been reported. We managed a 16-year-old girl who developed transient left hemichorea due to right sided striatal tuberculoma. Chorea regressed following 1 week of antitubercular treatment with corticosteroid therapy and disappeared at 3 months. In a patient presenting with chorea, striatal tuberculoma should also be considered especially in the area where tuberculosis is prevalent.
由结核瘤引起的偏侧舞蹈症此前未见报道。我们诊治了一名16岁女孩，她因右侧纹状体结核瘤出现了短暂的左侧偏侧舞蹈症。在抗结核治疗联合皮质类固醇治疗1周后，舞蹈症症状消退，并在3个月时消失。对于出现舞蹈症的患者，尤其在结核病流行地区，也应考虑纹状体结核瘤的可能。
