Cerebrovascular complications of diabetic ketoacidosis in children

Abstract: SUMMARYNeurological deterioration in children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is commonly caused by cerebral edema. However, subtle cerebral injuries including strokes should also be suspected, since children with hyperglycemia and DKA are prone to thrombosis. In this paper, a case involving a 2 month-old patient that presented cerebral edema and stroke as complications of DKA is reported. In the discussion, the literature on neurological complications of DKA in children is briefly reviewed, emphasizing the p… Show more

“…Cerebral edema was diagnosed when there was low Glasgow coma scale (GCS) (<13) accompanied by one or more other signs of raised intracranial pressure (hypertension and bradycardia with or without breathing pattern abnormalities, pupillary abnormalities, squint, blurred disk margin, decerebrate or decorticate posturing, respiratory arrest or radiological evidence of moderate to severe edema on computed tomography). 5 Stroke was diagnosed if there was evidence of focal neurological deficit and radiological evidence of cerebral infarction. 5 Shock was defined as tachycardia with capillary refill time > 3 seconds and cold peripheries with or without hypotension as per pediatric advanced life support (PALS) guidelines.…”

“…Because of its high morbidity and mortality, cerebral edema has been the main focus of research in DKA patient. 5 But DKA has been described in literature to be associated with many other complications including DKA associated cerebral injury, electrolyte imbalance, vascular, renal, cardiopulmonary and other complications. 4 Reports on isolated complications of DKA have been published in literature.…”

“…Recent studies using MRI measures show altered brain structure and injury associated with adverse neurocognitive outcomes, including impairment in neuronal function and viability in T1D children [69, 70]. Patients with DKA have been reported to have prothrombotic tendencies due to their higher propensity to develop clots [4, 71]. Cerebral edema, hemorrhagic stroke, or acute ischemia associated with hyperketonemia has been implicated to intracerebral complications and neurological deterioration [72, 73].…”
