ABSTRACT: Hemichorea-hemiballism can be the solely presentation of a wide range of non-neurological clinical pictures, such as metabolic or hydro-electrolyte derange-ments.

The case depicted herein reinforces this association highlighting that especially in elder patients with new-ly diagnosed hemichorea-hemiballism, non-ketotic hyperglycemia should promptly be recognized.
