Abstract
Hemichorea due to tuberculoma has not been reported. We managed a 16-year-old girl who developed transient left hemichorea due to right sided striatal tuberculoma. Chorea regressed following 1 week of antitubercular treatment with corticosteroid therapy and disappeared at 3 months. In a patient presenting with chorea, striatal tuberculoma should also be considered especially in the area where tuberculosis is prevalent.
