Abstract
Hyperglycemic choreoathetosis (HC) is an uncommon syndrome often associated with hyperintensity of the basal ganglia on MRI. We performed a retrospective review of cases with HC to characterize the clinical, biochemical, and neuroimaging (CT, MRI, and MR spectroscopy) findings and to propose a mechanism for this syndrome. Seven HC patients with a mean age of 75.1 years, mean blood glucose of 27.4 mmol/L, and mean plasma osmolarity of 313.4 mmol/L were studied. All had MR‐T1 hyperintensity of the putamen on the side contralateral to the choreoathetosis. Two patients had additional hyperintensity of the globus pallidus while one also had involvement of the caudate. On MR‐T2, 2 patients showed hyperintensity, 2 isointensity, and 3 hypointensity in the putamen. MR spectroscopy showed elevated choline and reduced N‐acetylaspartate; two patients also had elevated myoinositol levels. Our findings suggest that the putamen has a central role in HC, and MR spectroscopy supports neuronal dysfunction in the putamen. Biochemical and neuroimaging findings support hyperviscosity as the most plausible mechanism. © 2009 Movement Disorder Society
