Hemiballism/hemichorea (HH) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder observed mostly in older adults with cerebrovascular diseases. Although the symptoms improve without any treatment, lesioning or DBS (deep brain stimulation) may be rarely required to provide symptomatic relief for patients with severe involuntary movements. HH is a rare complication of uncontrolled diabetes.

Introduction: A non-ketotic hyperglycaemia may cause an affection of basalganglia and, in the following, lead to a hemiballism-hemichorea movement-disorder.
History: A 68-year-old male patient was admitted at our ward with a subacute and painless hemichorea-hemiballism movement-disorder.
Findings And Diagnosis: Due to elevated levels of glycated haemoglobin, negative ketone bodies in the urine and characteristic changes of the striatum in MR-imaging the diagnosis of a non-ketotic hyperglycemia induced hemichorea-hemiballism was made.

Unilateral hemichorea/hemiballism (HH) associated with contralateral neuroimaging abnormalities of the basal ganglia, which is characterized by T1 hyperintensity on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and is secondary to diabetic nonketotic hyperglycemia, is a rare and unique complication of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM). Although almost all prior reports have documented rapid resolution of HH within days after normalization of blood glucose levels, medically refractory persistent HH has been noted. The experience of surgical intervention for persistent HH is limited.
