  1. saint vitus dance

    Saint Vitus Dance, also known as Sydenham's Chorea, is a disorder characterized by rapid, uncoordinated movements primarily affecting the face, hands, and feet. It is a neurological disorder resulting from overactivity of the dopamine neurotransmitters in the brain, often occurring as a complication of diseases such as rheumatic fever or streptococcal infections. Symptoms may include emotional instability, muscular weakness, and grimacing. The name "Saint Vitus Dance" comes from the medieval belief that people could cure the disorder by dancing before a statue of Saint Vitus.
