Popis:	INTRODUCTION: Chorea is a rare manifestation of primary diabetes mellitus, and nonketotic hyperglycemia can unusually cause chorea. These choreiform movements have been described with lesions in the basal ganglia. CASE REPORT: We report a similar case of a 50 year old woman presenting to our institute with nonketotic hyperglycemia and hemichorea which improved with normalization of blood glucose. MRI showed significant changes correlating to her symptoms. Discussion: We support the hypothesis that chorea in patients with nonketotic hyperglycemia might be due to direct effects of hyperglycemia on basal ganglia.
