Overview
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is associated with cerebral edema which can be visualized on CT scan of the head.
Key CT Findings for Diabetic Ketoacidosis
- Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is associated with vasogenic cerebral edema due to increased osmolality of blood secondary to hyperglycemia, which can be visualized on CT scan of the head.
- The following findings can be seen on CT scan:
- Diffuse effacement of the sulci and lateral ventricles
- Hypoattenuation of the brain parenchyma
