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，诊断检查可能具有挑战性。尽管通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。
