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 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 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 کاملSusceptibility Weighted Imaging as a Useful Imaging Adjunct in Hemichorea Hyperglycaemia
Hyperglycaemia with hemichorea (HGHC) is an unusual clinical entity that can be associated with corpus striatum hyperintensity on T1-weighted (T1W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences. We report the utility of the susceptibility weighted image (SWI) sequence and the filtered phase SWI sequence in the imaging assessment of HGHC.
متن کاملIpsilateral Hemichorea-hemiballism in a Case of Postoperative Stroke
BACKGROUND Ipsilateral hemiballismus refers to the rare occurrence of hemiballism developing on the same side of a brain lesion. CASE REPORT We describe a rare case of postoperative ipsilateral hemiballism in a patient who underwent pituitary adenoma resection and experienced a right internal cerebral artery territory infarct. We review the literature on hemichorea hemiballismus (HCHB) and ex...
