ABSTRACT
Hemiballism is an uncommon neurological disorder characterized by uncontrollable movements of one lateral half of the body. We report a 56 years old male with a history of three weeks of polydipsia, polyuria and weight loss that, three days before consultation, started with hemiballism. A CAT scan without contrast showed a higher density in the lenticular nucleus and calcifications in caudate and lenticular nuclei. Diabetes was treated with regular insulin and hemiballism was controlled with neruoleptics. Ten days after admission a new CAT scan shows a partial regression of the lenticular lesion. After two months of follow up, the patient is asymptomatic.
