Chorea-ballismus which is a rare complication of nonketotic hyperglycemia may be the first symptom of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this paper, we present two patients, who had involuntary movements and were diagnosed as having ballismus-chorea associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia. While one of the patients was not diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, the other one did not administer insulin th...

Kore-ballismus nonketotik hipergliseminin nadir görülen bir komplikasyonu olarak tip 2 diyabetli hastalarda görülebilir. Kan şekeri regülasyonu sonrası acil servise sağ kolda istem dışı hareketler ile gelen ve yapılan tetkiklerinde hiperglisemiye sekonder hemikore-hemiballismus geliştiği tespit edilen hastayı literatürde rastlandığı için sunduk patofizyolojide sorumlu mekanizmaları inceledik.

BACKGROUND Chorea, hemichorea-hemiballismus and severe partial seizures may be the presenting feature of nonketotic hyperglycemia in older adults with type 2 diabetes, but cases in children with type 1 diabetes are rare, since the most easily recognized symptoms of type 1 diabetes in children are secondary to hyperglycemia, glycosuria, and ketoacidosis. CASE PRESENTATION A previously healthy ...

OBJECTIVES Mutations in GNAO1 have been described in 11 patients to date. Although most of these individuals had epileptic encephalopathy, four patients had a severe movement disorder as the prominent feature. We describe the largest series of patients with de novoGNAO1 mutations who have severe chorea, developmental delay, and hypotonia in the absence of epilepsy. METHODS Six patients with r...

Diabetic patients during hyperglycaemic crises may present a rare syndrome characterised by a typical triad: unilateral involuntary movements (hemichoreahemiballism), radiological contralateral striatal abnormality, and rapid resolution of symptoms after glycae - mic correction. This study reports a series of patients showing less usual aspects and also discusses the pathophysiology of this cli...

Introduction Movement disorders can be subdivided into two types: hypokinetic, such as parkinsonism, and hyperkinetic, characterized by an excessive amount of motor activity. The hyperkinetic disorders are further characterized as rhythmic or nonrhythmic. The prototypic rhythmic hyperkinetic movement disorder is tremor, while irregular (or nonrhythmic) hyperkinetic movement disorders include ch...
