PAROKSİSMAL HEMİKORE-BALLİSMUS: OLGU SUNUMU

Giriş: Tip 2 diyabetes mellitusun nadir görülen komplikasyonlarından biri non-ketotik hiperglisemiye sekonder gelişen hemikore-ballismustur. Hemiballismusun inmeden sonraki en sık ikinci sebebi hiperglisemidir. Tedavide esas amaç glisemik kontrolün sağlanmasıdır. Olgu: Son bir ay içerisinde aralıklarla ortaya çıkan birkaç gün sürüp geçen istemsiz hareketler nedeniyle başvuran tip 2 diyabetes mellitus tanılı 75 yaşındaki kadın hastanın incelemesinde laboratuvar ve nörogörüntüleme tetkikleri sonucunda nonketotik hiperglisemiye bağlı hemikore-ballismus tanısı kondu. Hastada glisemik kontrolünün sağlanmasını takiben tam klinik iyileşme izlendi. Tartışma: Hemikore-ballismus kliniği ile prezente olan ileri yaşlı olgularda ilk olarak akla sekonder nedenler getirilmelidir. Diyabetes mellitus öyküsü olan yaşlılarda nonketotikhiperglisemi ani gelişen hiperkinetik hareket bozukluklarının en sık nedenidir. Tekrarlayan atakların hayati risk taşıdığı unutulmamalı ve hastalar dikkatle değerlendirilmelidir.

PAROXYSMAL HEMICHOREA-BALLISM: CASE REPORT

Introduction: One of the rare complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is hemichorea-ballism syndrome with non-ketotic hyperglycemia. The second most common cause of these movement disorders is hyperglycemia after stroke attacks in eldery. The main purpose of the treatment is to provide adequate glycemic control. Case:A 75-year-old female patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had been referred for an intermittent involuntary movement over the last month. She was diagnosed with nonketotic hyperglycemia with laboratory and neuroimaging findings. By providing glisemic control full clinical improvement was observed. Conclusion:In eldery presenting with hemichorea-ballism syndrome, secondary reasons should be brought to mind firstly. Nonketotic hyperglycemia is the most common cause of sudden hyperkinetic movement disorders in older adults with diabetes. Patients should be carefully assessed because of the high mortality risk of the recurrent nonketotic hiperglycemic attacks.
