Hyperglycaemic Hemichorea and Hyperglycaemic Hyperosmolar Syndrome in a Patient with HbA1c levels of 19.9%: A Rare and Potentially Reversible Case

Hemichorea is a rare clinical manifestation of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient presents with non-ketotic hyperglycaemia, hemichorea (characterized by rapid and involuntary movements of a specific part of the body) and the CT imaging reveals the presence of alterations involving the ganglia of...

description Hemichorea is a rare clinical manifestation of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient presents with non-ketotic hyperglycaemia, hemichorea (characterized by rapid and involuntary movements of a specific part of the body) and the CT imaging reveals the presence of alterations involving the ganglia of the base([1–3]). LEARNING POINTS: Hemichorea is a rare clinical manifestation of type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with an uncontrolled disease. Hyperglycaemic hemichorea has a good prognosis. All diabetics need to maintain good metabolic control and control cardiovascular risk factors.
