摘要
A 9-year-old female with acute chorea was found to have multiple areas of abnormal signal on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain consistent with vasculitis. The child's serology and clinical course were indicative of Sydenham's chorea, and other causes of vasculopathy were excluded. Although magnetic resonance imaging findings similar to those observed in this patient have been rarely reported in Sydenham's chorea; their presence alone should not prompt a search for an alternative diagnosis.
