    <abstract language="eng">Spectrum of the neurological deficits in non-ketotic hyperglycemia and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) ranges widely among patients and can have any presentation from focal seizures, epilepsia partialis continua, chorea-hemiballismus syndrome, hemiparesis, hemianopia to mental obtundation and coma. Here we report a case of HHS which presented with Left Homonymous Hemianopia as the only initial presentation. Symptoms slowly resolved over the course of two weeks by administration of insulin and normalizing the glucose.</abstract>
