Chorea can result from many causes, and the diagnostic workup can be challenging. Although often accompanied by other extrapyramidal symptoms, hydrocephalus has not been mentioned as a possible cause of chorea to date. Here we report an unusual case of chorea secondary to normal pressure hydrocephalus, which clearly improved after shunt placement.
舞蹈症可由多种原因引起,诊断性检查可能具有挑战性。尽管舞蹈症常伴有其他锥体外系症状,但迄今为止,脑积水尚未被提及为舞蹈症的可能病因。在此,我们报告一例因正常压力脑积水继发舞蹈症的罕见病例,该病例在进行分流术后明显改善。
