Hemichorea-hemiballism (HC-HB) is a hyperkinetic disorder that is characterized by continuous, nonpatterned, proximal, and involuntary movements on one side of the body resulting from involvement of the contralateral basal ganglia, particularly the striatum. HC-HB may be associated with a wide variety of diseases, such as cerebrovascular, inflammatory, and infectious diseases, drugs, metabolic derangement, neurodegenerative disorders, and tumors 1,2. Nonketotic hyper-glycemia has occasionally been assocaiated with various neurological abnormalities, including movement disorders 3. Recently, a few reports have described patients with nonketotic hyperglycemia who presented with HC-HB 4-6.
