Diffusion-weighted MR imaging in early diagnosis and prognosis of hypoglycemia.
Year: 2006
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: SUMMARY: We describe 2 cases of diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging in hypoglycemic coma. One patient, with diffuse cortical lesions, had a poor outcome, but the other, with transient white matter abnormalities, made a complete recovery. The distinctive patterns of DW MR imaging abnormalities in hypoglycemic patients should be recognized and may be a predictor of clinical outcome.
