    Author: Chang CV, Felicio AC, Godeiro Cde O, Matsubara LS, Duarte DR, Ferraz HB, Okoshi MP.
    Journal: Am J Med Sci; 2007 Mar; 333(3):175-7. PubMed ID: 17496737.
    Abstract:
    Chorea and ballism are movement disorders that result from a variety of conditions. Hyperglycemia is an unusual recognized cause of these movement disorders. We report 3 cases of new-onset chorea-ballism induced by nonketotic hyperglycemia in elderly patients, highlighting that chorea may be the first manifestation of undiagnosed decompensated diabetes mellitus.
