Choreoathetosis

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-002027

A neurological disorder characterized by involuntary, irregular, and unpredictable movements that combine features of chorea and athetosis. These movements are typically non-rhythmic and can affect the limbs, trunk, and face. The condition results from dysfunction in the basal ganglia, which are brain structures involved in motor control.
