Implication

This case report reveals hemiballismus-hemichorea in a type 2 diabetes patient, indicating potential misdiagnosis risks.

Key Points

  • Diabetic striatopathy results in hemiballismus-hemichorea, a movement disorder triggered by high blood sugar.
  • Neuroimaging confirmed T1-hyperintensity in the right putamen, indicating striatal pathology linked to diabetes.
  • Prompt insulin therapy and haloperidol led to quick resolution of symptoms in the patient.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to avoid misinterpretation of brain scans, which could mimic more severe conditions.
