Pallidal deep brain stimulation in a patient with nonketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea
BACKGROUND: Hyperkinetic movement disorders secondary to brain tissue damage due to hyperglycemia are a rare complication of diabetes mellitus. Nonketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea (NH-HC) is characterized by a rapid onset of involuntary movements after increased serum glucose levels. CASE DESCRIPTIO...

description | BACKGROUND: Hyperkinetic movement disorders secondary to brain tissue damage due to hyperglycemia are a rare complication of diabetes mellitus. Nonketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea (NH-HC) is characterized by a rapid onset of involuntary movements after increased serum glucose levels. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report on a case of a 62-year-old male patient with a 28-year history of Type II diabetes mellitus with NH-HC following an infect-associated exacerbation of blood glucose levels. Choreiform movements of the right upper extremity, face, and trunk persisted 6 months after onset. Due to failure of conservative treatments, we opted for unilateral deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internus, which led to complete cessation of symptoms within a week after initial programming. Symptom control was still satisfactory 12 months after surgery. No side-effects or surgery-associated complications were observed. CONCLUSION: Globus pallidus internus DBS is an effective and safe treatment option for hyperkinetic movement disorders secondary to brain tissue damage caused by hyperglycemia. Postoperatively, stimulation effects can be observed quickly and effects persist even after 12 months. |
