Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Syndrome of Acute Bilateral Basal Ganglia Lesions in Diabetic Uremia Mov Disord 21:1267-1270, Kim, T.,et al, 2006 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In this report, we have presented a diabetic patient with uremia, in which acute Parkinsonism occurred, coupled with acute mental confusion, after a sudden increase in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinin levels. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed a unique cytotoxic-type edema I the bilateral basal ganglia during the acute phase. Signal alterations were shown to regress in accordance with the normalized apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, but irreversible cystic degeneration developed in the globus pallidus, with the very low preceding ADC values.
