Intracerebral Crises During Treatment of Diabetic Ketoacidosis

TL;DR: This review supports close neurological monitoring and intervention to reduce intracranial pressure when there are definite signs of neurological compromise, but treatment appears to be successful in only 50% of patients who give sufficient warning for such intervention, and they comprised half of the study population.

Subclinical Brain Swelling in Children during Treatment of Diabetic Ketoacidosis

TL;DR: The data suggest that subclinical brain swelling may be a common occurrence during treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis in children, and Sequential CT scans of the brain may provide a means of evaluating modifications of standard therapy aimed at preventing cerebral edema.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors associated with brain herniation in the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.

TL;DR: Excessive secretion of vasopressin may exacerbate the brain edema, and that limitation of the rate of fluid administration may be prudent, according to patients treated for severe diabetic ketoacidosis.

Neurologic manifestations of diabetic comas: Correlation with biochemical alterations in the brain

TL;DR: The available experimental evidence suggests that many of the commonly held theories for the production of such brain swelling probably do not occur and Cerebral edema can be avoided by stopping insulin when plasma glucose has been lowered to values approaching normal.

Cerebral oedema during treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis: are we any nearer finding a cause?

TL;DR: Cerebral oedema remains the leading cause of death and morbidity in children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus, and can still occur even when the management of DKA follows current ‘best practice’ guidelines.
