CT scan
- CT scan may be helpful in the workup of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state when a patient presents with an altered state of consciousness or with focal neurological signs and symptoms to rule out stroke.
- CT scan may also be helpful in the diagnosis of cerebral edema which can occur as a complication of treatment of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state.
- The following findings can be seen in cerebral edema on CT scan:
- Diffuse effacement of the sulci and lateral ventricles
- Hypoattenuation of the brain parenchyma
