Three patients, aged five to 16 years, developed chorea as the only or main clinical manifestation of primary antiphospholipid syndrome. In two cases, complaints were self-limited five to eight months after onset. In one patient, the clinical course was complicated by valvulitis. Under corticosteroid treatment, chorea disappeared and cardiac involvement stabilised. Primary antiphospholipid syndrome is a probably under-recognised differential diagnosis of choreatic syndromes in childhood. Assessment of anticardiolipin antibodies and/or lupus anticoagulant should be an obligatory part of the diagnostic work-up of such patients. Early diagnosis of primary antiphospholipid syndrome may improve clinical management and prognosis.
