Resumo

Introduction: The development of dyskinetic movements in hyperglycemic states is a rare condition, and nonketotic hyperglycemia is an uncommon cause of hemichorea. The presence of these involuntary and abnormal movements as the first presentation of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been poorly described in the literature. Case report: A 53-year-old female patient arrives at the emergency department (ED) presenting an involuntary movement in the left upper limb that had been going on for three days. Conclusion: This case report alerts the medical community to pay close attention to this disorder and addresses the need for further studies to guide its treatment accordingly.
