Abstract

A rare case of chorea hyperglycemic basal ganglia syndrome in a 56-year-old woman who presented with left-sided hemichorea in the setting of uncontrolled, non-ketotic, type II diabetes mellitus is reported. Early blood glucose control could lead to complete resolution of symptoms. Despite an excellent prognosis, delayed recognition and management can lead to prolong disability due to movement disorder.
