Abstract

Objectives: Chorea Hyperglycemia Basal Ganglia Syndrome(C-H-BG) is a syndrome with chorea-ballismus induced by hyperglycemia. This case study reports the clinical effect of Korean medicine treatment on C-H-BG. Methods: A 73-year-old male patient with left side chorea-ballismus visited Daejeon Korean Medicine Hospital. He had no diabetes mellitus(DM) history but the laboratory test result suggested nonketotic DM. We diagnosed him as C-H-BG and treated with herbal medicine, acupuncture and hyperglycemic medication. To evaluate chorea-ballismus, we checked Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale(AIMS) score everyday. Results: After 14 days of treatment, the chorea-ballismus improved and AIMS score decreased from 38 to 4. Gait disturbance caused by the symptom disappeared. Conclusions: We suggest that Korean medicine treatment can improve the symptom of C-G-BG.
