Sodium valproate in Sydenham's chorea.

M Dhanaraj, A R Radhakrishnan, K Srinivas, Z A Sayeed.   

Abstract

Five patients with a moderate to severe degree of Sydenham's chorea were treated with sodium valproate for their involuntary movements. Within a week of commencement of treatment, the choreic movements disappeared completely. Sodium valproate appears to be a promising drug in the management of Sydenham's chorea.
