Diabetic striatopathy is an uncommon and life threatening manifestation of diabetes mellitus. It has a tendency to occur in the elderly, female and people of Asian descent. Patients usually present with hemichorea-hemiballism caused by non-ketotic hyperglycemia. However, patients could develop diabetic striatopathy weeks after the hyperglycemic event, even when blood sugar has been well controlled. Herein, we report a case of delayed onset diabetic striatopathy and discuss the importance of detailed history and brain magnetic resonance imaging for making prompt and accurate diagnosis.
糖尿病性纹状体病是糖尿病一种罕见且危及生命的表现形式。它倾向于发生在老年人、女性及亚洲血统人群中。患者通常表现为非酮症高血糖所致的偏侧舞蹈症-偏侧投掷症。然而,即使血糖已得到良好控制,患者也可能在高血糖事件数周后发生糖尿病性纹状体病。在此,我们报告一例迟发性糖尿病性纹状体病病例,并讨论详细病史和脑部磁共振成像对于及时准确诊断的重要性。
