What is another word for Saint Vitus Dance?
Pronunciation: [sˈe͡ɪnt vˈɪtəs dˈans] (IPA) 
Saint Vitus Dance is a rare disorder that affects the nervous system, causing involuntary movements and twitches. It is also referred to as Sydenham's chorea, Chorea minor, or simply chorea. Other synonyms for this condition include St. Vitus' dance, chorea sancti viti, or dance of Saint Vitus. Although the name is derived from the patron saint of dancers, Saint Vitus, the condition is not related to dancing or rhythmic movements. The illness is typically caused by an infection, such as rheumatic fever, and can often be treated with antibiotics. Early diagnosis is important, as untreated cases can lead to permanent damage to the nervous system.
