ABSTRACT
Hemiballism-hemichorea is a rare movement disorder that presents unilateral flinging movements of the limbs. Recent studies pointed non-ketotic hyperglycemia as an underlying cause of this movement disorder. We report an elderly women with irregular, involuntary movement of the limbs after her uncontrolled diabetes mellitus was successfully managed by the control of glucose level. Characteristic magnetic resonance imaging findings and the management of this condition were discussed.
