- Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common affliction. Although the routine diagnosis and treatment of diabetes are quite familiar to medical personnel, it occasionally presents with some unusual manifestations, one such being the hemichorea-hemiballismus syndrome. We report four non-ketotic hyperglycemic diabetic patients who presented with hemichorea-hemiballismus syndrome. Their brain CT scan pictures showed non-enhancing hyperdensities in the basal ganglia and the MRI pictures showed hyperintensities on T1W image and hypo-intensities on T2W image.
