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…

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.
