DaT Scan "Abnormality" in Hyperglycemic-Hemichorea.

ABSTRACT: Background:Hyperglycemic-hemichorea is a well-established clinical entity which leads to signal changes on brain MRI. We are reporting a case of hyperglycemic-hemichorea where the DaT scan showed reduced uptake bilaterally. Case Report:A 57-year-old female was seen in the clinic for hemichorea due to hyperglycemia. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed increased T1 signal intensity in bilateral lenticular nuclei and the DaT scan showed reduced uptake on both sides. Discussion:This case highlights the importance of performing a DaT scan in the correct clinical context, as an abnormality on brain MRI can lead to false-positive DaT scan results.

Pallidal deep brain stimulation in a patient with nonketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea.

Project description:BackgroundHyperkinetic movement disorders secondary to brain tissue damage due to hyperglycemia are a rare complication of diabetes mellitus. Nonketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea (NH-HC) is characterized by a rapid onset of involuntary movements after increased serum glucose levels.Case descriptionWe report on a case of a 62-year-old male patient with a 28-year history of Type II diabetes mellitus with NH-HC following an infect-associated exacerbation of blood glucose levels. Choreiform movements of the right upper extremity, face, and trunk persisted 6 months after onset. Due to failure of conservative treatments, we opted for unilateral deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internus, which led to complete cessation of symptoms within a week after initial programming. Symptom control was still satisfactory 12 months after surgery. No side-effects or surgery-associated complications were observed.ConclusionGlobus pallidus internus DBS is an effective and safe treatment option for hyperkinetic movement disorders secondary to brain tissue damage caused by hyperglycemia. Postoperatively, stimulation effects can be observed quickly and effects persist even after 12 months.

Acute hemichorea revealing atrial flutter.

Project description:Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) typically present with easily recognizable neurological focal deficits. Symptoms such as paroxysmal involuntary movements are not usually considered to be a manifestation of TIA. We report a case with video documentation of TIA due to permanent atrial flutter presenting as acute left hemichorea. To our knowledge, such a case has not yet been reported. The present case constitutes a crucial diagnostic challenge in neurological practice in order to prevent a high risk of subsequent ischemic stroke.

Network localization of hemichorea-hemiballismus.

Project description:ObjectiveTo determine whether neuroanatomically heterogeneous strokes causing hemichorea-hemiballismus localize to a common functional network.MethodsWe identified 29 cases of lesion-induced hemichorea-hemiballismus from the literature and mapped each lesion volume onto a reference brain. Using a recently validated technique termed lesion network mapping, we tested whether these lesions belonged to the same functional network. To accomplish this, the network of brain regions functionally connected to each lesion was identified using a connectome dataset from healthy participants. Network maps were overlapped to identify any region functionally connected to our set of lesions. Specificity was evaluated using a case-control design; control cohorts included a group of similar lesions randomized to different brain locations and a second group of lesions causing a separate movement disorder, asterixis. Reproducibility was evaluated using an independent cohort of 10 additional hemichorea-hemiballismus cases.ResultsLesions showed heterogeneity in anatomical location, consistent with prior reports. However, at least 90% of these lesions showed network overlap in the posterolateral putamen. This result was specific to lesions causing hemichorea-hemiballismus and reproducible in an independent cohort. The putaminal overlap site was itself connected to a broader motor network that predicted the distribution of lesions causing hemichorea-hemiballismus.ConclusionsStrokes causing hemichorea-hemiballismus, while anatomically heterogeneous, localize to a common functional network. Specifically, lesions occur in regions functionally connected to the posterolateral putamen, a region previously implicated in hyperkinetic movement disorders. Lesion network mapping may be useful in identifying the neuroanatomical substrates of heterogeneous lesion-based disorders.

Hemichorea induced by a sphenoid ridge meningioma.

Project description:BackgroundMovement disorders are rare in brain tumors. We describe a 45-year-old woman with hemichorea, a concomitant contralateral sphenoid ridge meningioma.Case descriptionThe meningioma enlarged as her hemichorea worsened, and after meningioma resection, the hemichorea gradually subsided. N-isopropyl-p-[123I]-iodoamphetamine single-photon emission computed tomography performed preoperatively showed decreased regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) to the basal ganglia circuit ipsilateral to the tumor and, when repeated postoperatively, confirmed improved regional CBF.ConclusionWe propose that the enlarging sphenoid ridge meningioma had a remote effect on regional CBF and the thalamocortical motor center and that complex changes in the basal ganglia output may have caused the hemichorea.

Hemichorea-hemiballism in a nonketotic diabetic patient.

Project description:Hemichorea-hemiballism can be the solely presentation of a wide range of non-neurological clinical pictures, such as metabolic or hydro-electrolyte derange-ments. Hemichorea-hemiballism as the first presentation of type 2 diabetes mellitus has been described. The case depicted herein reinforces this association highlighting that especially in elder patients with new-ly diagnosed hemichorea-hemiballism, non-ketotic hyperglycemia should promptly be recognized.
