While non-ketotic hyperglycemia is commonly implicated, DS can also occur in ketotic states.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report two elderly patients with long-standing, poorly controlled diabetes. Case 1, an 80-year-old male, presented with bilateral lower limb choreiform movements and delirium. Case 2, a 92-year-old female, developed right-sided hemichorea after discontinuing hypoglycemic therapy. Both patients had hyperglycemia with ketosis and characteristic basal ganglia T1 hyperintensity. Intensive glycemic control and symptomatic therapy led to complete resolution of involuntary movements in both cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
