AbstractBackgroundCerebral edema (CE) is one of the most serious complications of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and can result in central nervous system (CNS) disorders and even lead to death of the patient.Case presentationWe present the case of a 11-year-old boy with severe DKA in the course of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D). The delay in the diagnosis of DKA and some therapeutic problems contributed to the development of CE and direct life-threatening conditions. Early diagnosis of CE development in the course of DKA using non-invasive methods such as pachymetry or transorbital ultrasound seems to be a very important prognostic factor.ConclusionsThis case highlights the importance of appropriate treatment according to the newest recommendations and presents the usefulness of new diagnostic methods to assess the risk of CE in children with newly diagnosed T1D.

Key Points Single-agent vemurafenib leads to a rapid and sustained clinical response in severe multisystem LCH but does not eradicate the disease. Longitudinal assessment of BRAF V600E during treatment shows that clinical remission can occur despite significant amounts of mutated BRAF.

The prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is 30% at the time of diagnosis.1 Cerebral edema is a rare, but life-threatening complication of DKA, occurring in only 0.3 - 1% of cases.2 Deep vein thrombosis and acute pancreatitis are other rare complications of DKA. Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) as a complication of pediatric DKA has been reported.3 A unique case of a pediatric patient who had multiple rare complications of DKA including cerebral edema, venous thrombosis, and hypertriglyceridemia associated acute pancreatitis is presented.The SVT episode encountered during the admission was due to complications arising from a procedure and not due to DKA itself.
