27 Ιουν 2022 · This review aims to provide a brief overview of DKA from its pathophysiology to clinical presentation with in depth focus on up-to-date therapeutic management.
Cerebral edema is a condition where an excess of cerebral water accumulates due to primary neurological or non-neurological causes. Cerebral edema complicates many brain pathologies causing additional injury often in excess of the original neurological insult.
cerebral edema, as detected by subtle brain computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes, can occur in as much of 50% of DKA patients. Hence, early identification of clinically relevant cerebral edema in DKA relies on clinical criteria rather than solely on radiological tests [5]. Clinical identification of
Cerebral edema is described as occurring in DKA in 0.4 to nearly 5% of cases, due to referral bias and variable diagnostic criteria. Mortality in the context of cerebral edema is 21% with morbidity rates reported of 10-26%.
Symptomatic cerebral edema (CE) in pediatric patients with DKA is uncommon and is defined by diagnostic criteria, including abnormal motor or verbal responses to pain, decorticate posture, and abnormal neurogenic respiratory patterns.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is associated with a high mortality rate, especially if cerebral edema develops during the disease course. It is rarer and more severe in adults than in children. We present cases of two patients with cerebral edema‐related DKA.
Objective: To review the causes of cerebral edema in diabetic ketoacidosis (CEDKA), including pathophysiology, risk factors, and proposed mechanisms, to review the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of CEDKA and the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis as it pertains to prevention of cerebral edema. Data source: A MEDLINE search using OVID was ...
