Case report reveals left-sided weakness in a diabetic patient, suggesting unique imaging features and implications.

To highlight an unusual presentation of diabetic striatopathy without involuntary movements that mimicked acute ischemic stroke.
Case report of a 52-year-old woman with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state
Imaging included computed tomography and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging
Follow-up imaging was conducted after 12 months post-glycemic optimization.
Right caudate nucleus and putamen showed subtle hypodensity (5.89 Hounsfield units, P < .001)
T1-weighted imaging revealed hyperintensity in the same region (mean per-pair signal-intensity ratio 1.117, P < .001)
Weakness resolved within 1 week, and follow-up showed normalization of imaging findings (mean per-pair signal-intensity ratio 0.979).

Soggia et al. (2026) studied this question.
