Hemichorea

Last edited: 4/23/2026

Overview

Hemichorea, often associated with basal ganglia disorders, can also occur secondary to structural lesions such as cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). It manifests as involuntary, irregular movements typically affecting one side of the body. 1623

Diagnosis

  • Clinical Presentation: Sudden onset of unilateral choreiform movements.
  • Imaging Studies: MRI and MRA are crucial for identifying underlying AVMs or other vascular malformations. 11623
  • Angiography: Digital subtraction angiography can confirm the presence and characteristics of AVMs. 516
  • Grading: Spetzler-Martin grading system may help assess the complexity and surgical risk of AVMs. 33
  • Management

  • Endovascular Embolization: Primary treatment for AVMs contributing to hemichorea, often using n-butyl cyanoacrylate or Onyx. 16212755
  • Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Effective for residual AVM nidus post-embolization, particularly in larger lesions. 4404957
  • Surgical Resection: Considered for surgically accessible AVMs, especially in pediatric cases. 4664
  • Medical Management: Symptomatic treatment with dopaminergic agents if chorea is prominent. 16
  • Special Populations

  • Pregnancy: Increased risk of AVM rupture; close monitoring and potential intervention advised. 2441
  • Pediatrics: AVMs in children may present differently and require tailored management strategies, including radiosurgery. 406364
  • Elderly: Consider comorbidities and functional status when choosing treatment modalities; radiosurgery may be preferred due to lower invasiveness. 48
  • Key Recommendations

  • Imaging with MRI and MRA is essential for diagnosing AVMs associated with hemichorea. (Evidence: Strong 123)
  • Endovascular embolization should be considered as a first-line treatment for AVMs causing hemichorea, with careful selection of embolic agents. (Evidence: Moderate 162127)
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery is recommended for residual AVM nidus post-embolization, particularly in larger lesions, to reduce hemorrhage risk. (Evidence: Moderate 44957)
  • Close monitoring during pregnancy for women with AVMs due to elevated rupture risk. (Evidence: Moderate 2441)
  • Tailored management for pediatric AVMs, favoring radiosurgery when feasible, to minimize neurological impact. (Evidence: Expert opinion 6364)
