    Abstract:
    We present a case of hemichorea/hemiballism, a rare complication of hyperglycemia. Diagnosis is made clinically by signs of unilateral involuntary movements of the extremities combined with typical neuroradiological findings in the basal ganglia. Guidelines for treatment of the condition are lacking but in many cases correction for hyperglycemia is sufficient for full symptom relief. In other cases, symptomatic treatment with haloperidol and tetrabenazine can be used.
