Sydenham ’ s chorea (SC) is a neuropsychiatric autoimmune condition mediated by antibodies that disrupt cortico-striatal circuits, causing motor, behavioral, and cognitive abnormalities. 1,2 Mild disturbances in cognitive processes may result in maladaptive behaviors, lacking ef fi ciency and ef fi cacy when performing tasks.
