Reflex 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 کاملForced 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 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 کاملFocal seizures and non-ketotic hyperglycaemia.
The clinical features of seven patients with non-ketotic hyperglycaemia who developed focal seizures are presented. All patients were alert except one who was mildly confused. Glucose values varied from 17.8 to 55.1 mmol/l, while calculated osmolarity values were elevated in all cases to a mild or moderate extent (299.1 to 346.5 mmol/l). In three cases diabetes mellitus was a new diagnosis. Fou...
متن کاملComplex partial seizures and aphasia as initial manifestations of non-ketotic hyperglycemia. Case report.
We describe a case of non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH), heralded by complex partial seizures and aphasia of epileptic origin, besides versive and partial motor seizures. This clinical picture was accompanied by left fronto-temporal spikes in the EEG. The seizures were controlled by carbamazepine only after the control of the diabetes. A month later, carbamazepine was discontinued. The patient re...
