This document summarizes a chapter about hyperthyroid chorea from the Handbook of Clinical Neurology. It begins with an introduction that describes hyperthyroid chorea as a rare but distinct clinical entity where choreiform movements abate when hyperthyroidism is treated and reemerge with relapse. It then discusses the epidemiology, noting that the condition predominantly affects young females and that the timing of chorea onset in relation to hyperthyroid symptoms varies between patients.
