Resumo

Hemichorea-hemiballism is a rare manifestation of stroke, characterized by involuntary arrhythmic motions in one side of the body, which results from focal lesions in the contralateral subthalamic nucleus.Here, we reported a 74-year-old man with sudden onset violent involuntary rapid and irregular movements of left limbs after nap, since 6 hours prior to emergency department.The diagnosis of acute subthalamic nucleus infarction related hemichorea-hemiballism was confirmed by brain magnetic resonance image (MRI).Additionally, newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus without control was made based on high blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).Medications including oral hypoglycemic agents, dual antiplatelet drugs and neuroleptics plus dopamine receptor antagonists were administered.The patient showed no obvious involuntary movements of left limbs after 3-month follow-up.
