Neurological 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 prothrombotic tendency of these patients.

Abnormalities of serum glucose in pediatric patients are commonly encountered in the emergency department and represent an acute threat to life and neurologic function. Rapidly identifying and aggressively treating hyperglycemia with diabetic ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia are critical to ensure the best possible outcome. This review will guide the emergency provider in the identification, resuscitation, workup, and disposition of these critically ill patients. This review contains 6 figures, 13 tables, and 50 reviews. Key Words: Cerebral edema, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most common complication seen in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. DKA is most commonly seen with patients of type 1 diabetes. Depletion of Insulin leads to high blood sugars which in turn leads osmotic diuresis, production of ketone bodies i.e, βhydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid, dysregulation of sodium hydrogen exchange mechanism[2]. As a consequence to the above stated mechanisms, cerebral edema has been documented as a fatal complication in DKA. Mortality documented due to cerebral edema is 21-25%[4].

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a state of severe insulin deficiency, either absolute or relative, resulting in hyperglycemia and ketonemia. Although possibly underappreciated, up to 10% of cases of intracerebral complications associated with an episode of DKA, and/or its treatment, in children and youth are due to hemorrhage or ischemic brain infarction. Systemic inflammation is present in DKA, with resultant vascular endothelial perturbation that may result in coagulopathy and increased hemorrhagic risk. Thrombotic risk during DKA is elevated by abnormalities in coagulation factors, platelet activation, blood volume and flow, and vascular reactivity. DKA-associated cerebral edema may also predispose to ischemic injury and hemorrhage, though cases of stroke without concomitant cerebral edema have been identified. We review the current literature regarding the pathogenesis of stroke during an episode of DKA in children and youth.
