Hemichorea-Hemiballism with a Diabetic Patient
Chorea and ballism are movement disorders that result from a variety of conditions. They are an uncommon manifestation of diabetes mellitus. We report a 52-year-old diabetic man who presented with acute onset chorea-ballism with a putaminal high-signal-intensity lesion on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
متن کاملHemichorea-hemiballism: an explanation for MR signal changes.
PURPOSE Some cases of hemichorea-hemiballism (HCHB) are associated with a hyperintense putamen on T1-weighted MR images, the cause of which remains unclear. Our purpose was to determine the cause and significance of these MR signal changes. METHODS We analyzed the clinical and neuroimaging findings in 10 patients with HCHB, focusing on locations of the hyperintense lesions on T1-weighted imag...
متن کاملHemichorea with unilateral MRI striatal hyperintensity in a Saudi patient with diabetes
Hemichorea is a disorder characterized by abnormal, continuous, nonrhythmic, jerky, and distal movement involving one side of the body. It may result from cerebrovascular insult to basal ganglia, or from other causes including neoplasm, infection, and non-ketotic hyperglycemia. We report the clinical, laboratory, and neuroimaging data with treatment response of a Saudi woman who has diabetes wi...
متن کاملHemiballism-hemichorea and non-ketotic hyperglycaemia.
Three patients with hemiballism-hemichorea caused by non-ketotic hyperglycaemia are presented, two of whom had hyperosmolar non-ketotic hyperglycaemic syndrome. In two of the three patients, the hyperkinesia was the initial presenting symptom of their diabetes mellitus. The hypersensitivity of the postmenopausal dopamine receptor, decreased gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain in non-ketotic hy...
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...
