Abstract

Diabetes may cause late complications in the CNS but certain lesions may also occur acutely in hyperglycemia. We describe a case of hyperosmolar non-ketotic syndrome and reversible hemichoreic dyskinesia with morphological changes in basal ganglia.

Keywords: diabetes; hemiballismus; hemichorea; hyperosmolar non‐ketotic syndrome.
