✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Chorea is an uncommonly reported manifestation of hyperthyroidism. We report the first description of generalized chorea due to iatrogenic thyrotoxicosis and propose that the movement disorder is due to a direct effect of thyroxine on the basal ganglia rather than being an autoimmune phenomenon. © 2005 Movement Disorder Society
