    Chorea-ballism associated with ketotic hyperglycemia

    Chorea-ballism is a rare movement disorder characterized by irregular, poorly patterned, and involuntary movements, which are usually unilateral but may be bilateral or involve the extremities. The most common metabolic cause of transient …

    In vivo proton MR spectroscopy of chorea-ballismus in diabetes mellitus

    The most common cause of chorea-ballismus (CB) is a vascular lesion; it is also associated with nonketotic hyperglycaemia in diabetes mellitus (DM) and may be the first manifestation of this disorder. We describe the CT, MRI and proton MR …

    Clinicopathological study of atypical motor neuron disease with vertical gaze palsy and ballism

    The case of a 38-year-old patient with rapidly progressing motor neuron disease, complicated by major dysfunction of the extrapyramidal system and of vertical gaze is described. Neuropathological examination revealed a degenerative process that …

    No evidence of perfusion abnormalities in the basal ganglia of a patient with generalized chorea-ballism and polycythaemia vera: analysis using subtraction SPECT co-registered to MRI

    Polycythaemia vera is a well-known cause of symptomatic chorea, however, the pathophysiology of this correlation remains unclear. We report on a patient with generalized chorea-ballism associated with polycythaemia vera, and we present the …

    Botulinum neurotoxin as early treatment in acute-onset lesional hemiballism

    Hemiballism (HB) and hemichorea (HC) are the most frequent secondary movement disorder, usually caused by cerebrovascular diseases [ 1 ]. Even though up to 90% of them may wear off within 6 months, they may severely compromise patients’ quality of …

    Nonketotic hyperglycemia hemichorea-hemiballismus

    HC-HB is a rare movement disorder that can occur in patients with poorly controlled diabetes and hyperglycemia without ketoacidosis. The mainstay of treatment is prompt correction of hyperglycemia.

    Is diabetic striatopathy the culprit of seizures in a patient with ketotic hyperglycemia-induced hemichorea–hemiballismus?

    Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is a rare movement disorder syndrome known as nonketotic hyperglycemia associated with hemichorea-hemiballismus (NKHCHB). It is associated with basal ganglia involvement manifesting with contralateral involuntary …

    Hemiballismus–hemichorea syndrome in an acute rehabilitation setting: two case reports 

    Hemiballismus–hemichorea (HBHC) syndrome can be defined as a hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by involuntary, irregular, continuous, unilateral movements of the body resulting from a contralateral basal ganglia lesion. The most common …

    Investigation of the factors associated with hemichorea/hemiballismus in post-stroke patients

    Classical knowledge highlights the role of lesions of the subthalamic nuclei (STN) in the pathophysiology of hemichorea/hemiballismus (HH). However, the published reports indicate various other lesion regions in the majority of post-stroke cases …

    Hemiballism and chorea with acute/subacute onset: a retrospective series

    Chorea is a hyperkinetic movement disorder (MD) with sudden, irregular, random, dance-like involuntary movements that affect any part of the body. Athetosis is a slower form of chorea and ballism is usually one-sided, high-amplitude movements at …
