Chorea Hereditary

Hereditary chorea is a syndrome that manifests itself in the form of rapidly occurring body movements known as chorea movements. This condition may be due to genetic disorders or infectious diseases that affect brain function.

Symptoms of hereditary chorea can vary from person to person and may include trembling or shaking of muscles, rapid movements of the head and legs, and coordinated movements of body parts. Some people may also experience problems with speech and coordination.

Causes of hereditary chorea may include hereditary diseases such as Friedreich's ataxia, Gerstmann's syndrome and some types of diseases associated with Von Güntenschmidt syndrome and others. Poisoning with toxic substances, such as salts of heavy metals, may also be the cause.

Treatment for chorea is a selection of medications, including dopamine antagonists and selective dopamine reuptake inhibitors. Chorea is a condition that usually occurs in childhood or adolescence, but can appear later in life. When treating chorea, it is necessary to monitor the person's physical and mental health to prevent possible complications.

Hereditary chorea is a serious disease that can affect a person's quality of life. However, thanks to modern treatments, many people can live normal lives with this disease. It is important to understand that treatment for chorea consists of a combination of drug therapy and patient behavior, so it is important to follow the recommendations of your doctor.
