Case report details bilateral involvement of movement disorders in diabetic striatopathy, suggesting neuroimaging patterns.
Diabetic striatopathy (DS), known by various other terminologies, is a rare complication associated with diabetes mellitus. It is characterized by inadequate glycemic control and distinctive neuroimaging features due to reversible damage to the basal ganglia, leading to diverse movement disorders, such as hemichorea and hemiballismus. Neuroimaging reveals basal ganglia hyperdensity in computerized tomography of the brain, whereas magnetic resonance imaging of the brain shows T1-weighted hyperintensity. Chorea in DS typically affects unilateral limbs but can be bilateral in 9.7%. In our case report, bilateral involvement has been documented.
