Abstract
We present the case of an 83-year-old female patient with left-side hemichorea and hemiballism associated with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hyperintensity in the right basal ganglia was evident in T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance. Clinical and radiological findings were consistent with diabetic striatopathy.
