SYMPTOMS.—An attack of chorea is usually preceded by more or less
failure of the general health and evidences of some mental
disturbance. It is quite common to be told by the parents of a child
suffering from chorea that the little patient had seemed unwell for
some time previous to the attack; that the appetite had failed, and
that the child had looked pale; that he had been irritable or excitable,
and at school the teacher had complained of restlessness or
inattention in the pupil. In a little girl who was brought to me recently
with her second attack of chorea her mother stated that for several
days before the outbreak the child had been in excessive spirits, and
that she had been singing loudly and in a peculiar manner. The
same symptoms had preceded the first attack. Sometimes nothing is
observed until it is found by the parents or teacher that there are
abnormal twitchings and movements of the limbs.
During sleep the movements usually cease, but generally the patient
is restless while asleep, and in some instances the irregular
movements continue even at this time.
The disease reaches its greatest severity in about two weeks, and if
the case is a bad one we find by this time all of the voluntary
muscles are in constant movement. At this time the French name for
chorea, folie musculaire, is most appropriate. Patients are often
unable to walk or to sit up, and sometimes they may be thrown from
the bed by violent spasmodic movements of the trunk. Strange as it
seems, patients rarely complain of fatigue, notwithstanding the
violent muscular exercise. This is probably because each set of
movements is of short duration and is constantly changing its seat.
Chorea of the heart is sometimes spoken of, but it has never been
satisfactorily demonstrated that there is any real disorder of cardiac
rhythm in chorea. It is not unusual in chorea to meet with over-action
or palpitation of the heart, but these conditions do not necessarily
depend on the disease.
Valvular murmurs are often met with from the beginning of an attack.
In some instances they are the result of an endocarditis, but
frequently they are functional or anæmic. They are usually heard at
the apex. Sometimes there is a reduplication of the first sound,
giving the idea of a want of synchronism in action of the two sides of
the heart; but this is probably not the result of chorea of the heart. I
recall one patient, a child of seven or eight years, in whom the
reduplication of the first sound was very distinct during an attack of
St. Vitus's dance. She was brought to me at the beginning of a
second attack a year later, and the reduplication of the cardiac
sounds was heard again, so it is likely that it had continued during
the interval, and was probably a congenital condition.
The nutrition generally suffers. The patient rapidly loses flesh, and
becomes anæmic; the skin grows dry, and the hair gets harsh. The
digestion is apt to be disordered. The tongue is large, pallid, and
coated thickly, and there is sometimes nausea or vomiting. The
appetite is not good. The bowels are often constipated. The urine
has been examined by several observers. Bence Jones found an
excess of urea at the height of the disease. Albumen is not present
except accidentally, but there is usually an excess of phosphates. In
several cases in which we have examined the urine at the Infirmary
for Nervous Diseases we found that the specific gravity was high
while the chorea was at its height, but fell to normal as the patient
recovered.
Chorea is spoken of as acute and chronic, but all cases are more or
less chronic. Those cases which last eight or ten weeks may be
considered acute, while those running on for months or years are
properly called chronic.
In the fatal case of Hutchinson referred to above the heart was found
diseased, the aortic valves were incompetent, the leaflets being
swollen and softened, and the aorta was atheromatous above the
sinus of Valsalva.
Seguin recommends that the patient should begin again with the
dose at which tolerance ceased. For instance, if vomiting occurred
after a dose of nine drops, he stops the medicine for a day, and
begins again with eight drops. I have found that sometimes this
causes vomiting again, and I think it preferable to resume the
medicine with a small dose.
It is often seen that a patient becomes worse during the first few
days that the arsenic is taken, but improvement generally begins
after a week of the arsenical treatment, and is well marked after two
weeks.
Ziegler34 has recorded several cases which recovered under the use
of nitrite of amyl. The bromides and chloral are useful adjuncts to
treatment in case of sleeplessness or mental irritability. Cases of
cure by the use of chloral alone have been reported. Bouchut gave a
girl of fourteen and a half years, with chorea and dementia, 45 grains
of chloral a day for twenty-seven days. She slept most of the time,
but improvement was seen on the fifth day, and cure was completed
on the twenty-eighth day of the use of the chloral. Electricity has
been efficient in the hands of many writers. I have found
galvanization of the spine to produce a quieting effect in some
cases.

In children the patient should always be taken from school and kept
from exciting play. Plenty of fresh air and wholesome food should be
insisted upon. Change of air to the mountains or to the seashore
often effects a cure in a short time.
ATHETOSIS.
BY WHARTON SINKLER, M.D.
This disease was first described by Hammond in his work on Diseases of the Nervous System in 1871,
and cases have since been reported by many observers, among them Clifford Allbutt, Claye Shaw,
Eulenburg, Oulmont, and Gowers. The disease is named by Hammond from the word ἀθετος, without
fixed position.1 The principal features are an inability to retain the fingers and toes in any position in
which they may be placed, and the continual movements which persist in the parts—a condition called
by Gowers mobile spasm.
1 Diseases of the Nervous System, p. 722.
Athetosis is often connected with impaired mental powers; many of Shaw's cases were in imbecile
children.
The movements of athetosis are not confined to the hand in all cases, but they are sometimes met with
in the foot, and even in the muscles of the face and back.
The following is Hammond's original case:2 “J. P. R——, aged thirty-three, a native of Holland, consulted
Hammond Sept. 13, 1869. His occupation was bookbinding, and he had the reputation, previous to his
present illness, of being a first-class workman. He was of intemperate habits. In 1860 he had an
epileptic paroxysm, and since that time, to the date of his first visit to me, had a fit about once in six
weeks. In 1865 he had an attack of delirium tremens, and for six weeks thereafter was unconscious,
being more or less delirious during the whole period. Soon after recovering his intelligence he noticed a
slight sensation of numbness in the whole of the right upper extremity and in the toes of the same side.
At the same time severe pain appeared in these parts, and complex involuntary movements ensued in
the fingers and toes of the same side.
“At first the movements of the fingers were to some extent under the control of his will, especially when
this was strongly exerted and assisted by his eyesight, and he could, by placing his hand behind him,
restrain them to a still greater degree. He soon, however, found that his labor was very much impeded,
and he had gradually been reduced from time to time to work requiring less care than the finishing, at
which he had been very expert.
“The right forearm, from the continual action of the muscles, was much larger than the other, and the
muscles were hard and developed like those of a gymnast. When told to close his hand he held it out at
arm's length, clasped the wrist with the other hand, and then, exerting all his power, succeeded, after at
least half a minute, in flexing the fingers, but instantaneously they opened again and resumed their
movements.
“In this patient there was impairment of intellect, his memory was enfeebled, and his ideas were dull.
There was no paralysis of any part of the body, but there was slight tremor of both upper extremities.
The involuntary movements were of the right arm, and continued during sleep. Sensation was normal.
The spasm of the muscles causes severe pain in the arm, and keeps him from sleeping at night.”
Hammond used various remedies without relief, and had the patient under his charge for many years.
Finally, he showed the patient to the American Neurological Society at the annual meeting in 1883, with
almost complete relief to the movements as a result of nerve-stretching.

Athetosis is found in two forms—the hemiplegic and the bilateral varieties. In the former there has
usually been an attack of hemiplegia more or less marked, or there has been an epileptic fit or
unconsciousness from alcohol, as in Case I. There is often hemianæsthesia or some disorder of
