Abstract
Hemiballism is a rare hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by repetitive, uncontrolled movements unilateral /or bilateral extremities, develops as a result of insult to the contralateral basal ganglia. The leading source for this disorder is ischemia, followed by non-ketotic hyperglycemia with poorly controlled diabetes. Non-ketotic hyperglycemic induced hemichorea-hemiballism is an uncommon but unique etiology of unilateral neuro-parenchymal findings restricted to corpus striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen). Nonketotic hyperglycemia-induced hemichorea-hemiballism diagnosed by Cross-sectional imaging modalities (Computed tomography and Magnetic resonance imaging), Clinical results (hemichorea-hemiballism), Laboratory tests (elevated blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels).
