  • Title: Bilateral basal ganglia lesions after hypoglycemic coma in a 6-year-old child.
    Author: Kara C, Aydin OF, Aslan B, Gürer YK.
    Journal: J Child Neurol; 2007 Feb; 22(2):228-31. PubMed ID: 17621490.
    Abstract:
    Imaging findings of brain damage due to neonatal hypoglycemia are known; however, the effect of childhood hypoglycemia on the brain has not been described well. The authors present the case of a 6-year-old girl who had seizures secondary to hypoglycemia followed up for 1 year as epilepsy. The patient had experienced a hypoglycemic coma attack about 1 year before. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed atrophy of the cerebrum and cerebellum and bilateral symmetrically hyperintense lesions in the putamina. The patient was diagnosed with hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinism.
