Abstract
Chorea Associated with High Titers of Antiphospholipid Antibodies in the Absence of Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome
Highlights
Chorea is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary, irregular, non-stereotyped movements of the limbs, trunk, neck, and face parts that can vary in frequency.[1]
Choreiform movements involving both upper and lower limb, predominantly on the right side. We report another patient with chorea and high titers of aPL antibodies who does not fulfill the criteria for APS
A review of the literature on the subject of chorea associated with a high titer of aPL antibodies without APS revealed six previous publications: five single case reports and a small series of 10 patients (Table 1)
Summary
Chorea is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary, irregular, non-stereotyped movements of the limbs, trunk, neck, and face parts that can vary in frequency.[1]. There have been reports of chorea in patients with high titers of aPL antibodies in the absence of autoimmune disease or clinical APS.[20,21]
