Chorea Paralytic

Chorea is involuntary, erratic and obsessive movements of the body associated with changes in muscle tone, develops due to illness, pathology of the nervous system, its centers

Chorea is characterized by the occurrence of spontaneous motor acts by turning off the automaticity of inhibition in the reticular formation of the brain. Its manifestation is similar to hypothalamic epilepsy. Chorea is characterized by an uncontrollable onset of movements, involving first the parts of the brain proximal in relation to the nucleus of the auditory nerve (synonyms - frontal, upper form), and then its distal parts (lower, facial form). The motor act is characterized by incompleteness due to the short duration of the latent period of motor stimulation. With chorea, the upper form is characterized by movements in the forehead, face, and tongue; with the lower form, violent movements in the distal arms and legs often predominate; facial movements are reactive in nature. Chorea usually occurs after mental trauma, diseases of the membranes and blood vessels of the brain, concussions and as a result of exogenous constitutional disorders.

Chorea involves the upper body (the frontal form is the most common) and/or the lower body (facial chorea) and involuntary movements. Various movements begin suddenly, often without apparent cause or obvious stressor. Can
