    This case report details primary polycythaemia, a rare blood disorder, manifesting as severe chorea. Early diagnosis is crucial for managing this neurological complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Primary polycythaemia (polycythaemia vera) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by excessive red blood cell production.
    • Neurological complications, though uncommon, can occur in polycythaemia vera, impacting patient quality of life.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of primary polycythaemia presenting with severe chorea is described.
    • The clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges are highlighted.

    Findings:

    • The study compares this case with previously reported instances of chorea associated with polycythaemia vera.
    • Aetiological factors linking polycythaemia vera to chorea are discussed, emphasizing potential pathophysiological mechanisms.

    Implications:

    • This report underscores the importance of considering primary polycythaemia in the differential diagnosis of chorea, especially in unexplained cases.
