Diabetic striatopathy associated with type 2 diabetes: A rare complication

Diabetic hemichorea/hemiballism is a spectrum of hyper kinetic involuntary, non patterned, continuous movements involving one side of the body. It involves contra lateral basal ganglia and often striatum in the brain. Here we are reporting an unusual case of choreiform movement disorder which was su...
