Hemichorea-hemiballismus (HC-HB) is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary movements involving limbs on one side of the body. Many etiological factors were identified and these included stroke, infection, and neoplasm. However, acute hyperglycemia-induced HC-HB is less well known. We present two cases of non-ketotic hyperglycemia-induced HC-HB. The cases depicted here Illustrate that HC-HB can be the sole presentation from among a variety of neurological manifestations of poorly controlled diabetes which can be easily reversed when hyperglycemia is corrected.

Hemichorea-hemiballismus (HC-HB) adalah gangguan pergerakan tidak terkawal yang melibatkan anggota sebelah badan. Terdapat banyak faktor etiologi yang dijumpai, termasuk strok, jangkitan, dan barah. Walaubagaimanapun, HC-HB yang disebabkan oleh hiperglisemia akut jarang dijumpai. Kami membentangkan dua kes HC-HB yang disebabkan oleh hiperglisemia. Kes-kes yang dibentangkan di sini menunjukkan bahawa HC-HB boleh menjadi antara gejala gangguan neurologi disebabkan diabetes yang tidak dikawal dan boleh dirawat sepenuhnya melalui rawatan bagi hiperglisemia.
