چکیده
Non-ketotic hyperglycemia with hemichorea-Hemiballismus (HGSC) is a rare complication of non-equilibrated diabetic disease characterized by continuous rapid, non-rhythmic, involuntary unilateral movement the extremities, caused in most cases decreased activity contralateral subthalamic nucleus basal ganglia.
