Abstract
Diverse neurologic manifestations of hypoglycemia have been reported. Hypoglycemia can cause various neurologic symptoms including profound memory loss, transient motor deficits, a persistent vegetative state and death in 2-4% of cases. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful technique to evaluate hypoglycemic brain damage. We describe herein characteristic brain MR diffusion imaging features in a diabetic patient who had severe hypoglycemia.
