摘要: Hemichorea-hemiballism (HC-HB) in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus is an uncommon manifestation of hyperglycemia. The pathophysiology hyperglycemic HC-HB not well understood. A previous report showed increased intracortical inhibition the motor cortex a patient with HC-HB. objective this study to investigate excitability patients We hypothesized that measured transcranial magnetic stimulation, which likely reflects cortical γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic circuits, would be impaired studied 15 mean age 71.5 years (range, 48-94 y) and 12 age-matched healthy subjects. contralateral hemichorea was tested. Transcranial stimulation measures included evoked potential, recruitment curve, GABAA mediated short interval inhibition, facilitation, GABAB silent period duration long inhibition. No significant difference found threshold, curve response, or facilitation both rest active conditions between normal However, significantly during muscle activation but at also concluded are HC-HB, only activation. may associated receptor-mediated inhibitory activity cortex. © 2014 International Parkinson Movement Disorder Society
