ABSTRACT
Uremic encephalopathy is usually applied to cortical involvement in uremic patients. The syndrome of acute bilateral basal ganglia lesions very rare occurs in uremic patents, especially diabetic patients. We here report a case of acute uremic encephalopathy with bilateral basal ganglia lesions in a diabetic hemodialysis patient. A 63-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus on chronic hemodialysis treatment for 3 years admitted due to dysathria, facial palsy and gait disturbance, and temporary loss of consciousness. Brain MRI demonstarted low signal in T1 image and high signal in T2 image in both ganglia. With conservative care including regular hemodialysis, the manifestations completely disappeared.
