A case report describes a patient who presented with involuntary movements of the face, tongue, and neck while experiencing hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging found changes in the basal ganglia. The movements improved as the patient's hyperglycemia and hyperosmolarity were treated. This suggests hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome can cause unique involuntary craniofacial movements potentially related to changes in the basal ganglia.
