Hemichorea-hemiballism can be the solely presentation of a wide range of non-neurological clinical pictures, such as metabolic or hydro-electrolyte derange-ments. Hemichorea-hemiballism as the first presentation of type 2 diabetes mellitus has been described. The case depicted herein reinforces this association highlighting that especially in elder patients with new-ly diagnosed hemichorea-hemiballism, non-ketotic hyperglycemia should promptly be recognized.

Non-ketotic hyperglycaemia (NKH)-induced hemichorea-hemiballismus (HC-HB) is an infrequent reversible condition observed in individuals with poorly controlled diabetes. In this report, we present a case of NKH-induced HC-HB exhibiting distinctive morphological and functional alterations on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), followed by subsequent monitoring. A 70-year-old male with a 20-year history of diabetes presented with severe unilateral involuntary movement.

Article Synopsis
- Acute onset of movement disorders, particularly hemichorea-hemiballism, is a recognized but often underreported complication of diabetes, linked to episodes of hyperglycemia.* -
- A comprehensive literature review from 1950 to October 2023 was conducted, analyzing various case studies and research to understand diabetic striatopathy, including its risk factors and underlying mechanisms.* -
- Diabetic striatopathy, defined by specific imaging features, is influenced by multiple interconnected factors and may present with symptoms beyond movement disorders, although it generally has a favorable prognosis.*

Diabetic striatopathy is a clinicoradiological syndrome characterised by acute hyperkinetic movement disorder in the form of hemichorea-hemiballism with basal ganglia abnormalities in neuroimaging. The hallmark basal ganglia abnormalities appear as hyperdensities in CT brain and hyperintensities in MRI brain, which could mislead the clinician towards an erroneous diagnosis of cerebral haemorrhage. It is classically described in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and its occurrence in type 1 diabetes is extremely rare.

BACKGROUND Non-ketotic hyperglycemic hemichorea-hemiballism (HCHB) is a rare complication of diabetes, which is mainly described in case reports. This condition occurs more commonly in older women and is known to be associated with T1 hyperintensity basal ganglia lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The pathophysiology of non-ketotic hyperglycemic HCHB is not well defined, although a combination of regional metabolic failure and ischemia due to hyperglycemia is suspected to occur.

An 80-year-old woman with a history of rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, and no family history of hyperkinesis developed suddenly involuntary movement and visited our hospital two-day after onset. Neuro-examination revealed hemichorea-hemiballismus in the right side of the body, including the face (Suppl. video).
