  • Title: [Post-hypoglycemic encephalopathy in type I diabetes mellitus in childhood and its treatment].
    Author: Schukowski H, Bruger H, Heinrichs M, Knorr E, Täumler F.

    Abstract:
    In type-I-diabetes insuline-induced hypoglycaemia is the most frequent and permanent therapeutic complication. In severe courses proceeding to unconciousness, it is essential to decide on the irritation of exclusively cortical or subcortical structures. The latter one is classified as posthypoglycaemic encephalopathy correlated with a relatively high lethality. Consequently, differential diagnosis and carefully calculated treatment are of vital importance.
