Pathological fractures on both lower limbs with Jaffe-Campanacci's syndrome

Chorea in the Both Lower Limbs Associated with Nonketotic Hyperglycemia

Hemichorea-hemiballism (HC-HB) is a complication of non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH); in NKH patients, the frequency of occurrence of HC-HB is greater than that of bilateral chorea.
