Chorea-Ballismus with Nonketotic Hyperglycemia in Primary Diabetes Mellitus
AJNR 17:1057-1064, Lai,P.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In patients with chorea-ballismus associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia in primary diabetes mellitus,CT and T1 weighted MR images show unilateral or bilateral lesions of the putamen and/or caudate.SPECT scans show hypoperfusion.These findings may be related to petechial hemorrhage and/or myelin destruction.Early recognition of these imaging characteristics may facilitate diagnosis of primary diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia and prompt appropriate therapy.
