We reported a 74‐year‐old woman with new‐onset diabetes mellitus who presented with the sudden onset of mild left hemiparesis and marked left hemichorea–hemiballismus. Brain CT scan and MRI showed T1W, T2W, and DWI lesions in the right putamen and caudate, which have been previously reported in cases of hyperglycemic‐induced hemichorea–hemiballismus (HIHH). The patient dramatically responded to tetrabenazine within a day. Subsequent dose reductions lead to a reemergence of symptoms…

[Hemiballism-hemichorea with non-ketotic hyperglycemia: movement disorder related to diabetes mellitus].
TLDR
A 75 year-old male patient admitted with history of hemiballismus-hemichorea movements, hyperglycemia, glycated hemoglobin of 14.4% and CT with a hyperdense area in the topography of the right basal ganglia is presented.

Dual Treatment of Hemichorea–Hemiballismus Syndrome with Tetrabenazine and Chemodenervation
TLDR
A 65-year-old male developed left hemichorea–hemiballismus and dystonia after a right hemisphere stroke and treatment with tetrabenazine and chemodenervation reduced the dySTONia.

TLDR
The case of an elderly woman who presented with hemichorea-ballism due to non-ketotic hyperglycemia is reported and the differential diagnosis based on neuroimaging is highlighted.

An Unusual Case of Diabetes Mellitus: Ketone-Positive Hyperglycaemia Induced Hemichorea-Hemiballism
TLDR
This case report reports the first case of ketone-positive HIHH in a Caucasian patient who had been on a Sodium Glucose Transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor and postulated whether there was a relationship between her basal ganglia injuries and possible cognitive decline which may have affected her adherence to blood glucose lowering therapy.
CASE REPORT: HEMICHOREA-HEMIBALLISMUS IN NON-KETOTIC HYPERGLYCEMIA AND NON-HEMORRHAGIC STROKE PATIENT WITH BASAL GANGLIA HYPERDENSITY
TLDR
Clinical manifestations and supporting patients support hyperglycemia and basal ganglia hyperdensity to be the etiology of hemiballismus experienced by patients.
Contralateral Basal Ganglia Atrophy in Acquired Hemichorea- Hemiballism
TLDR
A patient with HCHB in the setting of poorly controlled chronic diabetes, who also demonstrated basal ganglia atrophy on follow-up imaging is described, which is rarely reported.

Hemichorea Associated With Non-ketotic Hyperglycemia: A Case Report and Literature Review
TLDR
The possibility of unilateral chorea should be considered for diabetic patients with poor blood glucose control, and the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, therapy, and mechanism of hemichorea associated with non-ketotic hyperglycemia are explored.

TLDR
The hypersensitivity of the postmenopausal dopamine receptor, decreased gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain in non-ketotic hyperglycaemia, coexisting lacunar infarct in the basal ganglion, and pre-existing metabolic dysfunction in the Basal Ganglion may all have played a part in the pathogenesis of this movement disorder.

In this series of 21 patients with hemiballism-hemichorea, an identifiable cause in all patients was found, and other subcortical structures may be involved in the pathogenesis of this hemihyperkinesia.

TLDR
Serum glucose level should be determined in anyone with the new onset of choreoathetosis or ballism, as hyperglycemia is a rapidly reversible cause of these conditions.
