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.[1]
- The following findings can be seen on CT scan:[2][3]
- Diffuse effacement of the sulci and lateral ventricles
- Hypoattenuation of the brain parenchyma
