Hemichorea in a diabetes mellitus patient following acute ischemic stroke with changes in regional cerebral blood flow
Publication date: Available online 4 March 2015 Source:Journal of the Chinese Medical Association Author(s): Yutaka Suzuki , Minoru Oishi , Akira Kanno , Katsuhiko Ogawa , Mariko Fujisawa , Satoshi Kamei It is not unusual to observe hemichorea in patients with diabetes mellitus, with origins attributable to recent ischemia. Our patient was a 66-year-old female with diabetes mellitus who suddenly developed right hemichorea, mild muscle weakness of the right upper extremity, ideational apraxia, and acalculia.
