Abstract
Eight older women from two different continents, all with nonketotic hyperglycemia, presented with hemiballismus-hemichorea (HB-HC) and high signal intensity in the contralateral striatum on T1-weighted MRI scans. Correction of underlying hyperglycemia and supportive care resulted in resolution within days to weeks. This characteristic clinicoradiologic picture suggests a clinical syndrome with benign outcome.Entities:
