Abstract

The term "senile chorea" is applied to cases of sporadic chorea with onset after the age of 50 years. The causes of senile chorea are numerous and include drugs, medications, cerebrovascular disease, genetic and sporadic neurodegenerations, and a range of systemic (hematological, metabolic, immune) disorders. The cause of senile chorea can be determined after systematic investigation in most cases.
