Article Abstract
The constellation of signs and symptoms and neuroimaging characteristics in previous reports and the six additional cases described here with neuropathological data and findings of MR spectroscopy appears unique enough to be termed �diabetic striatopathy.� This syndrome appears in poorly controlled diabetics due to obliterative vasculopathy with prominent vascular proliferation, vulnerability to which is restricted to the striatum.
