    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-ophthalmology
    • Movement Disorders

    Background:

    • Sydenham's chorea is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary, rapid, jerky movements.
    • Ocular complications, though rare, can occur following Sydenham's chorea.

    Observation:

    • A 39-year-old woman presented with unilateral quadranopia, a visual field defect affecting all four quadrants of one eye's vision.
    • The onset of quadranopia was temporally linked to an episode of Sydenham's chorea.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights a specific visual field deficit (quadranopia) as a potential sequela of Sydenham's chorea.
    • Pathogenesis and general symptomatology of chorea are discussed in relation to the observed ocular complication.

    Implications:

    • This report expands the understanding of potential neurological sequelae of Sydenham's chorea.
    • It underscores the importance of comprehensive ophthalmological evaluation in patients with movement disorders.
