| description | Hemichorea-hemiballismus (HC-HB) is a movement disorder characterized by
involuntary movements involving limbs on one side of the body. Many etiological
factors were identified and these included stroke, infection, and neoplasm.
However, acute hyperglycemia-induced HC-HB is less well known. We present
two cases of non-ketotic hyperglycemia-induced HC-HB. The cases depicted
here Illustrate that HC-HB can be the sole presentation from among a variety of
neurological manifestations of poorly controlled diabetes which can be easily
reversed when hyperglycemia is corrected. |
