Published: November 2024

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most frequent endocrinopathies in the medical routine, appearing across different specialties. Although neurological involvement in the form of peripheral neuropathy is the most recurrent form acknowledged by physicians, the spectrum of neurological involvement can be more diverse. Here, we present a case of diabetic striatopathy, a rare neurological manifestation of diabetes mellitus with poor metabolic control, in a patient whose epidemiological group was not classically. As clinical and imaging findings are typical, although rare, a high degree of suspicion is necessary for diagnosis. This case report discusses the clinical findings, radiological workup, and therapeutic measures needed for the management of this disease.
