A unique case of reversible hyperglycemic Holmes' tremor.
Various movement disorders are known manifestations of nonketotic hyperglycemia (NKH). Hyperglycemic tremors are rare, with only two cases resembling flapping tremors reported in literature. We present a unique case of reversible hyperglycemic Holmes' tremor associated with NKH and postulate the underlying pathophysiology of this condition.
