A Case Series of Hemichorea due to Non Ketotic- Hyperglycemia with Unique MRI Brain Finding
نویسنده
چکیده
Hemi chorea generally occurs due to a stroke, neoplasm or granuloma in the contra lateral basal ganglia [1]. Metabolic derangements especially hyperglycemia can also cause focal neurological dysfunction like hemiparesis, focal seizure [2,3]. Recently there have been case reports of hemichorea reported due to non-ketotic hyperglycemia with characteristic MRI findings predominantly in the Asian population [4]. The aim of this study is to highlight the important aspects pertaining to the clinical and neuroradiological diagnosis of hemichorea associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia.

Hemichorea-hemiballism (HCHB) syndrome, which is most commonly related to non-ketotic hyperglycemia, is a rare type of chorea. Here, we present an unusual case of HCHB syndrome who was not a known case of diabetes. This case highlights the importance of recognising underlying non-ketotic hyperglycemia, as control of hyperglycemia is helpful in the quick relief of symptoms.

Diabetic hemichorea-hemiballism with non-ketotic hyperglycemia is usually a benign syndrome. Here, we report a 78-year-old woman with persistent hemichorea (HC) for longer than 1 year with a recurrence after rapid correction of hyperglycemia. Following the disappearance of the characteristic T1 hyperintensity at 3 months after onset, an MRI demonstrated T2* hypointensity and atrophic changes in...

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...

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...
