Diagnostic Challenges in Antiphospholipid Antibody–Associated Chorea: A Case Report
Choreas associated with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) are rare, and those linked to transient antibody positivity without APS are even rarer. This case report presents a unique and instructive instance of generalized chorea in an elderly patient associated with antiphospholipid antibodies, highlighting the diagnostic value of FDG-PET in such an uncommon case, which may help guide an etiology-based therapeutic management.
