Uncontrolled diabetes can trigger a movement disorder called hemichorea-hemiballismus, characterized by non-ketotic hyperglycemia-related chorea/ballism and usually reversible basal ganglia abnormalities on CT and/or MRI. The condition is diagnosed clinically and is mostly based on radiological imaging. Here, we report a case of a 68-year-old female presenting with right-sided and facial involuntary movements owing to uncontrolled hyperglycemia who was treated with antidiabetic and anticholinergic medications. The patient responded well to the treatment and showed a favorable outcome with no complications.

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.

Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is an acute hyperkinetic movement disorder arising from non-ketotic hyperglycemia. This condition predominantly affects females and is more common in the elderly, highlighting the interplay between diabetes, striatal pathology, and neurological movement disorders. DS is characterized by involuntary movements, such as hemichorea or hemiballism, and distinctive neuroimaging findings that can be mistaken for more common cerebrovascular events.

Non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia (NKH) is an inborn error of glycine metabolism with autosomal recessive inheritance. A female infant presented to our emergency department with intractable seizures, lethargy and hypotonia, 2 weeks after her routine vaccination. Detailed infective and metabolic workup revealed normal blood sugar, ketone, lactate ammonia, and a high level of glycine in serum and cerebrospinal fluid suggesting NKH.
