chorea
This term is used primarily in medical and clinical contexts to describe a specific type of movement disorder. It carries a neutral, diagnostic tone and is rarely used in casual conversation unless referring to a medical condition.
As a medical condition, chorea is treated as an uncountable noun. It refers to the state or the syndrome itself rather than a discrete object that can be counted. Consequently, it does not have a standard plural form in clinical usage.
