Movement Disorder - A Rare Presentation of Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Abstract

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a common acute complication of Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetic ketoacidosis is known to cause impaired consciousness due to the osmolar and acid base imbalance which in turn cause central nervous system involvement. Here we report a rare presentation of Diabetic ketoacidosis with movement disorder in form of hemichorea and facial tics. The movement disorder improved with treatment of ketosis.
