The Wilson films--Sydenham chorea.

摘要

Patient number 10 on the film by Samuel Alexander Kin-nier Wilson is a girl with generalized chorea, which is, however, asymmetric with greater involvement of the left side. Unlike some of the other cases recorded on the video, the authors of the paper were not able to locate the file of this patient in the archives of the National Hospital of Neurology, Queen Square, London. The patient was filmed in at least 2 different settings: in a ground area, where she is sitting, and, rather surprisingly, at a narrow fire escape where her gait is recorded. The captions inform that Wilson diagnosed the girl with Sydenham's chorea (SC). I will discuss the demographics, investigation, differential diagnosis, and management of this case.
