Hemiballism-hemichorea (HB-HC) is a hyperkinetic disorder characterized by continuous involuntary movements of the extremities. It could be associated with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. A very few cases of bilateral HB-HC have been reported until today. We describe here the case of a Taiwanese woman (85 years old) presenting with bilateral HB-HC and diabetes mellitus.
