BRAIN DAMAGE IN A JUVENILE DIABETIC PATIENT ASSOCIATED WITH INSULIN HYPOGLYCEMIA
1 The Children's Medical Service, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Department of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Boston.
Clinical data are presented on a child with diabetes mellitus who developed, in association with repeated episodes of insulin hypoglycemia, progressive mental deterioration and organic brain damage which ultimately led to epileptiform seizures unassociated with hypoglycemia.
The implications of these findings are discussed and similar cases in the literature are reviewed.
