Simultaneously occurring diabetic striatopathy and osmotic demyelination syndrome: A rare case report.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic striatopathy (DS), also known as non-ketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea, is a rare condition that arises from uncontrolled hyperglycemia. It is characterized by new onset movement disorders, changes in the striatum on imaging, or both. DS can occur as a complication of long-standing non-ketogenic hyperglycemia or be the first presentation of previously undiagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, uncontrolled or rapidly corrected hyperglycemia can, in rare cases, lead to osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). Although ODS typically occurs after the rapid correction of hyponatremia, the same effects and symptoms can manifest in patients with diabetes when hyperglycemia is corrected too quickly. We present a 59-year-old male with a history of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and cer
