ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT A 79-year-old man with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) presented with diplopia symptom and a history of diabetes mellitus was referred for an FDG PET/CT scan to determine the pretreatment staging. The FDG PET/CT scan revealed NPC with skull base invasion and decreased FDG uptake at the left striatum. A review of his clinical history and a brain MRI conducted 5 months ago confirmed a previous diagnosis of left hyperglycemic hemichorea. In this NPC patient with inadequate blood sugar control, unilateral striatum hypometabolism may persist for up to 5 months after the initial clinical symptoms.
