This report details the presentation of a 72-year-old female with left-sided continuous non-rhythmic involuntary movements persisting for two months. The movements affected the left side of her face, arm, and leg. The patient had a history of multiple hyperglycemic episodes and diabetic ketoacidosis. This report investigates the basal ganglia's involvement in hemiballismus, a movement disorder possibly linked to the patient's hyperglycemia. It discusses the complex management of hyperglycemia-induced hemiballismus and the need for more research to understand the underlying mechanism and optimal treatment strategies.
本报告详细介绍了一名72岁女性，其左侧持续出现无节律性不自主运动，持续了两个月。这些运动影响到她的左侧面部、手臂和腿部。该患者有多次高血糖发作和糖尿病酮症酸中毒病史。本报告研究了基底神经节在偏身投掷症中的作用，偏身投掷症是一种可能与患者高血糖有关的运动障碍。报告讨论了高血糖诱发的偏身投掷症的复杂管理，以及需要更多研究来了解其潜在机制和最佳治疗策略。
