Diabetic Striatopathy

Dr. Shreeman, a newly qualified graduate from Panimalar Medical College, Varadarajapuram, Poonamallee, Chennai, will present an interesting clinical case titled “Diabetic Striatopathy” — a rare neurological complication arising from poorly controlled diabetes.

India is often described as the Diabetic Capital of the World, with millions affected across all age groups. What is particularly concerning is the underdiagnosis of diabetes in young people, leading to serious complications that could have been prevented with early detection and proper management. The case being presented is a striking example of how uncontrolled diabetes can manifest in unexpected and severe ways.

This promises to be an insightful and thought‑provoking discussion, highlighting both the clinical features of this rare condition and the broader public‑health challenge posed by diabetes in India.
