Non-ketotic hyperglycemia unmasks hemichorea
BACKGROUND Chorea can be caused by a variety of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, vascular events, toxic-metabolic states, and immunologic and infectious diseases. We describe a patient who presented with hemichorea as the initial manifestation of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and responded partially to the glycemic control. CASE REPORT A 63-year-old, healthy Hispanic man with no prio...
متن کاملDiabetic Hemichorea-hemiballism after Prompt Improvement in Hyperglycemia
We herein report a case of hemichorea-hemiballism in an 85-year-old man diagnosed with diabetes at 76 years of age. After a one-year interruption in treatment, he was treated with a low-calorie diet, linagliptin, and nateglinide. Over 51 days, his HbA1c level decreased from 15.8% to 7.7%. After a prompt improvement in his hyperglycemia, he began experiencing involuntary movements in the right u...
متن کاملHemichorea-Hemiballism Secondary to Non-Ketotic Hyperglycemia
Non-ketotic hyperglycemia is an unusual and rare cause of hemichorea-hemiballismus. Correction of the hyperglycemia usually results in total resolution of the signs and symptoms. We present the case and medical imaging findings of a 66-year-old female who presented with steadily worsening choreiform and ballistic movements of the right upper and lower extremities over a 2-week period. Her serum...
متن کاملDelayed hemichorea syndrome associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia.
A 69-year-old woman was admitted for investigation of an acute-onset right hemichorea1. T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed hyperintensity in the left basal ganglia (Figs 1A and B). Although diabetic, she had no hyperglycemia. Interestingly, two weeks earlier, the patient was admitted due to nonketotic hyperglycemia. Brain computed tomography, previously reported as normal...
متن کاملTRODAT-1 and Tc-99m ECD observations in hyperglycemia hemichorea
We describe two cases of right hyperglycemia hemichorea (HGHC) with identical Tc-99m TRODAT-1/ Tc-99m ECD scan findings. While the brain MRI showed signal alterations within the left putamen, there was evidence of hyperperfusion on Tc-99m TRODAT-1 but hypoperfusion on Tc-99m ECD within the left putamen, in association with hyperperfusion within left thalamus on Tc-99m ECD. The discrepancy betwe...
