Abstract

Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is characterized by a hyperglycaemic state associated with chorea/ballism, and/or striatal hyper density on computed tomography, or hyperintensity on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. To date, there have been only a few case series reported in the literature on this topic. We present an acute case of DS which delineates the clinical presentation, imaging and instrumental examinations, typical radiological findings, and therapeutic approach of this condition. The purpose of this case report is to to remind clinicians to consider DS when poor-controlled diabetic patients present with symptoms such as altered sensorium, sudden-onset choreiform and ballistic movements.
