Chorea associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia: An uncommon patient with bilateral movements

Lu Wang et al. J Clin Neurosci. 2015 Jun.

Abstract

We report a 74-year-old woman who presented with bilateral chorea and no known history of diabetes. Movement disorders such as chorea can be observed in patients presenting with hyperglycemia. The occurrence of hemichorea-hemiballism has been increasingly associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia in the medical literature. The chorea disappeared completely after correction of the hyperglycemia.

Keywords: Chorea; Hyperdensity; Hyperglycemia; Movement disorders.
