Hemichorea-Hemiballism in Primary Diabetic Patients: MR Correlation
J Comput Assist Tomogr 26:905-911, Lee,E.J.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In patients with HC-HB with NKH in primary DM, T1-weighted MR images showed hyperintense lesions of the putamen or caudate. Early recognition of these imaging characteristics may facilitate the diagnosis of primary DM with hyperglycemia and lead to prompt and appropriate therapy.
