Abstract

Syndromes associated with acute bilateral lesions of the basal ganglia in diabetic uremic patients are uncommon. Uremic encephalopathy is typical of patients showing cortical involvement, with symptoms including confusion, seizures, tremors, or myoclonus. Whenever basal ganglia are anatomically involved, movement disorders arise, including chorea. In this article we present a case with basal ganglia involvement in a uremic diabetic patient causes chorea because of rare presentation.

Diyabetik üremik hastada bazal ganglion tutulumu ve kore

Abstract

Diyabetik üremik hastalarda akut bilateral bazal gangliyon oluşumu ile ilişkili sendromlar yaygın değildir. Üremik ensefalopati tipik olarak kortikal tutulum gösterir. Konfüzyon, nöbetler, tremor ve myoklonik nöbetler görülür. Bazal gangliyonlar anatomik olarak tutulursa kore dahil hareket bozuklukları görülür. Biz bu vakada koreye neden olan, bazal gangliyon tutulumlu üremik diyabetik hastayı nadir görülmesi nedeniyle sunduk.

Keywords
