Hyperkinesis Choreic

CHOREIC HYPERKINESIS (Chorea) is a type of hyperkinesis characterized by violent, erratic, uncoordinated muscle contractions, mainly on the face. Occurs more often after the age of 30-40 years. As a rule, with choreoathetosis there is no decrease in muscle strength and convulsive attacks. Choreoathetosis, along with chorea-like athetosis and classic epileptic seizures, is one of the atypical hyperkinesias.

Among the anticonvulsants used in complex therapy, anticonvulsants with taurine (topiramate, espalipon) are often used. Use preparations containing microelements (magnesium and zinc). In some cases, the use of amitriptyline (according to a special regimen) may be effective.

Choric hyperkinesia is a movement disorder associated with chorea, a hereditary neuromuscular disease that occurs in two forms: * classical (simple) * hemichorea

The classic manifestation of NHM is Huntington's chorea or genuine (“true choreic”) chorea - a type of chorea characterized by the presence of large hyperkinesis (twitching), occurring in pairs, rhythmically repeating and often directed in one direction, often inward, but not only. Also, undusations are often detected, which can be expressed both in weak twitching of the abduction in place, and in more voluminous oscillatory movements during walking. The genes whose mutation is responsible for the development of this disease are different chromosomes: X (geno-gene, p. 4-4q), X (genxg, p. 14-13) and Y chromosome (gene D4Z4).
