title: Association of chorea and motor neuron disease.
abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is classically characterized by the presence of symptoms or signs of upper and lower motor neuron impairment and sparing of other neuronal systems.1 We report on a patient who was primarily diagnosed as typical ALS and developed chorea 10 years after the onset of motor neuron signs.
