Beyond the Expected: Importance of Recognizing Intussusception in Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) generally presents as an initial manifestation of Type 1 diabetes mellitus, particularly in children. While symptoms like abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea are commonly associated with DKA, clinicians should also consider rare situations such as intussusception. Intussusception, a rare clinical diagnosis in adolescents, can result from lead points and metabolic changes. This case report highlights the occurrence of intussusception in an adolescent with DKA and explores the potential mechanisms linking these two conditions.
