An Adult Case of Diabetic Ketoacidosis Presenting with Cerebral Edema
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism - Year 2009, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Cerebral edema is a life-threatening complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) which may predominantly develop in pediatric cases during the management of DKA.. Symptomatic cerebral edema in children is rarely detected at admission, before initiation of the treatment. Cerebral edema associated with DKA is extremely rare in adults. Here, we report an adult patient with DKA who presented with symptomatic cerebral edema. Turk Jem 2009; 13: 16-8
