Abstract:A 67-year-old woman was admitted with right hemichorea-hemiballismus. Blood glucose: 831 mg/dl. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed signal change in the left striatum (Figures 1 and 2). This entity is characterized by hyperintensity confined to the striatum on T1-weighted MRI and contralateral hyperkinetic movement disorders in diabetic patients (type 2) with non-ketotic hyperglycemia 1. T2*-weighted gradient-echo MRI can reveal low signal intensity related to petechial hemorrhage 2. Pathological studies d… Show more
