Hemichorea-hemiballismus can be seen as a rare complication of non-ketotic hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We detected hemichorea-hemiballismus secondary to hyperglycemia in a patient who presented to the emergency department with speech disorder and involuntary movements in the left arm, as a result of our investigations. We decided to present this case because it is rare in the literature.

Hemikore-hemiballismus , Tip 2 diyabetes mellitus hastalarında non-ketotik hipergliseminin nadir ortaya çıkan bir komplikasyonu olarak görülebilir. Acil servise konuşma bozukluğu ve sol kolda istemsiz hareketler nedeniyle başvuran bir hastada yaptığımız tetkikler sonucunda hiperglisemiye sekonder gelişen hemikore-hemiballismus tespit ettik ve literatürde nadir rastlandığı için bu vakayı sunduk.
