Abstract
Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is a rare central nervous system complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized mainly by non-ketotic hyperglycemia and lateralized involuntary movements. Patients with diabetic striatopathy manifested solely by subacute cognitive decline were rarely reported. In this paper, we report a patient with DS who presented solely with subacute cognitive decline without involuntary movements, and cranial CT showed bilateral high density in the basal ganglia. In contrast, SWI showed microhemorrhages in the right caudate nucleus head. After one week of treatment, including glycemic control, the patient showed significant improvement in cognitive function, while a repeat cranial CT showed improved hyperdensity in the right basal ganglia region. 1 month later, at telephone follow-up, the patient's symptoms did not recur.

Distinctive Mediating Effects of Subcortical Structure Changes on the Relationships Between Amyloid or Vascular Changes and Cognitive Decline. Front Neurol 2021; 12:762251. [PMID: 34950100 PMCID: PMC8688398 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.762251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: We investigated the mediation effects of subcortical volume change in the relationship of amyloid beta (Aβ) and lacune with cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: We prospectively recruited 101 patients with MCI who were followed up with neuropsychological tests, MRI, or Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) PET for 3 years. The mediation effect of subcortical structure on the association of PiB or lacunes with cognitive function was analyzed using mixed effects models. Results: Volume changes in the amygdala and hippocampus partially mediated the effect of PiB changes on memory function (direct effect = -0.168/-0.175, indirect effect = -0.081/-0.077 for amygdala/hippocampus) and completely mediated the effect of PiB changes on clinical dementia rating scale sum of the box (CDR-SOB) (indirect effect = 0.082/0.116 for amygdala/hippocampus). Volume changes in the thalamus completely mediated the effect of lacune on memory, frontal executive functions, and CDR-SOB (indirect effect = -0.037, -0.056, and 0.047, respectively). Conclusions: Our findings provide a better understanding of the distinct role of subcortical structures in the mediation of the relationships of amyloid or vascular changes with a decline in specific cognitive domains.

Clinical outcomes of isolated deep grey matter infarcts after endovascular treatment of large vessel occlusion stroke. Neuroradiology 2021; 63:1463-1469. [PMID: 33528624 DOI: 10.1007/s00234-021-02656-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE There are few data on the prevalence and impact of isolated deep grey matter infarction in acute stroke. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of isolated deep grey matter infarcts and their impact on the outcome. METHODS Infarcts on 24-h follow-up imaging (non-contrast head CT or diffusion-weighted MRI) in the ESCAPE-NA1 trial were categorized into predominantly deep grey matter infarcts vs. infarcts involving additional territories ("other infarcts"). Total infarct volume was manually segmented. Baseline characteristics and proportions of good outcome (primary outcome, defined as modified Rankin Score [mRS] 0-2 at 90 days), excellent outcome (mRS 0-1) and mortality were compared between patients with and without predominantly deep grey matter infarcts. Multivariable logistic regression with adjustment for baseline variables and total infarct volume was used to determine a possible association of predominantly deep grey matter infarcts and clinical outcome. RESULTS Predominantly deep grey matter infarcts were seen in 316/1026 patients (30.8%). Compared to other patients, their ASPECTS was higher, collateral status and reperfusion quality were better and time to treatment was shorter. Good outcome was seen in 239/316 (75.6%) with vs. 374/704 (53.1%) without predominantly deep grey matter infarcts. After adjusting for baseline variables and total infarct volume, predominantly deep grey matter infarcts were independently associated with excellent outcome (adjOR: 1.45 [CI95: 1.04-2.02]), but not with good outcome (adjOR: 1.24 [CI95: 0.86-1.80]) or mortality (adjOR: 0.73 [CI95:0.39-1.35]) CONCLUSION: Predominantly deep grey matter infarct patterns were seen in 1/3rd of patients and were significantly associated with increased chances of excellent outcome, independent of patient baseline status and infarct size.
