Abstract
Recent data suggest that DKA may contribute to cognitive impairment in children with type 1 DM. We measured the NAA/Cr ratio in a teenager during and following 2 separate episodes of DKA without clinically apparent cerebral edema. The NAA/Cr ratio decreased during DKA and improved following recovery. However, the NAA/Cr value was lower after the second episode of DKA (1.76) than after the first (1.97). These findings provide support for the hypothesis that neuronal injury may result from DKA.
