A case of chronic progressive chorea

V. D. Lapukhin · Neurology Bulletin · 2021

The first to emerge from chronic progressive chorea as a separate nosological unit was the American neuropathologist Huntington, in honor of whom chronic chorea was called Huntingtons chorea for a long time, in contrast to chorea minor, first described by Sydenham; the latter is a more common form of Witta's dog and carries on itself all the signs of an acute infectious disease.
