Abstract:
Hemichorea/hemiballismus syndrome secondary to non-ketotic hyperglycemia is a movement disorder induced by long-standing poor control of diabetes mellitus. Diagnosis is based on clinical assessment and imaging. Here we report a rare case of a 56-year-old woman presenting with involuntary movements on the left side secondary to acute hyperglycemia. She received antidiabetic and anti-choreic drugs. The patient's glycemic profile was closely monitored, and she, consequently, responded favorably to therapy.
