Chorea-ballism is a neurological syndrome characterised by violent involuntary movements of one or both extremities. In the last decades, several patients with these involuntary movements were reported in association with hyperglycaemia. Here, we present a unique case of possible Huntington's disease, which could have been unmasked by the hyperglycaemic insult to the basal ganglia in a 64-year-old man who presented with chorea-ballism.
舞蹈症-手足徐动症是一种神经综合征,其特征为一个或双侧肢体出现剧烈的不自主运动。在过去几十年中,有几例出现这些不自主运动的患者被报道与高血糖有关。在此,我们报告一例可能为亨廷顿病的独特病例,该病可能因高血糖对基底神经节的损害而在一名表现为舞蹈症-手足徐动症的64岁男性中被揭示出来。
