Abstract
Hyperglycemia without ketosis is a rare cause of hemiballism. The secondary complication of this entity of Cortical Laminar Necrosis is rare. Brain MRI is of major help to detect basal ganglia involvement and gyriform hyper signals that are the signature of laminar cortical necrosis. We report a case of hemiballism associated with hyperglycemia without ketosis, which was secondarily complicated by cortical laminar necrosis with a fatal outcome.
