%X Hemichorea-hemiballism (HCHB) syndrome, which is most commonly related to non-ketotic"nhyperglycemia, is a rare type of chorea. Here, we present an unusual case of HCHB syndrome who"nwas not a known case of diabetes. This case highlights the importance of recognising underlying"nnon-ketotic hyperglycemia, as control of hyperglycemia is helpful in the quick relief of symptoms.
