Unlabelled: Hemichorea is a rare clinical manifestation of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient presents with non-ketotic hyperglycaemia, hemichorea (characterized by rapid and involuntary movements of a specific part of the body) and the CT imaging reveals the presence of alterations involving the ganglia of the base.
Learning Points: Hemichorea is a rare clinical manifestation of type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with an uncontrolled disease.Hyperglycaemic hemichorea has a good prognosis.All diabetics need to maintain good metabolic control and control cardiovascular risk factors.

Clinical and neuroimaging characteristics of diabetic striatopathy: a case series report.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Neurology, First Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is a rare disorder characterized by clinical manifestations of hemichorea, non-ketotic hyperglycemia, and high signal on T1-weighted MRI or high density on CT scan in basal ganglia, typically associated with poor glycemic control.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze clinical characteristics of patients with diabetic striatopathy to raise awareness amongst physicians, especially endocrinologists, about this rare neurological manifestation in patients with diabetes.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data on clinical presentations, laboratory workups, and cranial CT and MRI of six patients with DS who were admitted to our hospital from October 2013 to June 2022.
Effect of low-frequency repetitive magnetic transcranial stimulation in hemichorea-hemiballismus with ipsilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage: A case report.

Post-stroke hemichorea-hemiballismus (HCHB) typically manifests as hyperkinetic movements contralateral to the lesion, but rarely occurs ipsilaterally. In this article, we present a rare case who initially presented with left hemiparesis and developed right HCHB after right basal ganglia hemorrhage. To facilitate motor recovery in the left hemiparesis, we applied low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the left primary motor cortex.

Nonketotic hyperglycemia-induced hemichorea is a rare condition of type 2 diabetes. It is characterized by hyperglycemia with the symptom traced to the basal ganglion like hemichorea or hemiballism, with the hyperintensity within basal ganglion presented in computed tomography (CT) or hyper signal in T1-weighted magnetic resonance image (MRI). It was also confirmed with a relatively better prognosis in that the symptoms of these patients could be relieved after the alleviation of hyperglycemia.

Article Synopsis
- * A 70-year-old Hispanic man with a history of diabetes and other health issues presented with severe left-sided involuntary movements for three weeks due to hyperglycemia.
- * The patient's symptoms improved after his blood sugar levels were normalized, emphasizing the importance of managing diabetes and recognizing NKH-CB early for effective treatment.
Pure Sensory Thalamic Stroke Presenting As Hemiballismus: A Case Report.

Neurology, Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, Huntington, USA.
Strokes are a major cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe. An ischemic stroke of thalamic origin should be considered if a patient presents with a set of non-localizing symptoms such as speech issues, sensory abnormalities, chorea-like movements, ataxia and confusion that cannot be explained by a single lesion. A 78-year-old female with a past medical history of hypertension and smoking developed right-hand numbness and ataxia that progressively worsened to numbness of the entire right side of the body and right-arm hemiballismus.
