Forced eye closure-induced reflex seizure and non-ketotic hyperglycemia
We report an uncommon case of 53-year-old female patient with partial seizure induced by forced voluntary eye closure due to non-ketotic hyperglycemia. The initial laboratory tests showed an elevated blood glucose level of 550 mg/dL but no evidence of ketosis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging was normal. When the blood glucose levels decreased slowly to about 150 mg/dL in five days, the seizure...
متن کاملReflex seizures and non-ketotic hyperglycemia: an unresolved issue
Reflex seizures are a rare form of epilepsy, the pathogenesis of which is unclear. They have been reported in the setting of non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH) and are considered to be neuroendocrine in origin. We report a diabetic patient with movement-induced seizures whose presentation suggests that brain ischemia may be the precipitating event in focal seizures seen in the setting of NKH. We r...
متن کاملNon-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 کاملPrediction of seizure control in non-ketotic hyperglycemic induced seizures
BACKGROUND To study the factors predictive for seizure control in non-ketotic hyperglycemic induced seizures (NKHS). METHODS We studied 21 patients who were clinically diagnosed as NKHS at Khon Kaen University hospital, Thailand. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify the factors predictive for seizure control. RESULTS Most patients had no previous history of diabetes and ...
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...
