    Author: Altomonte L, Ghirlanda G, Palumbo P, Manni A, Greco AV.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1983 Feb 18; 74(6):227-33. PubMed ID: 6338418.
    Abstract:
    The physiopathology and clinical picture of hyperosmolar diabetic coma are described, and four personal cases are presented. This form of coma is a rare, but particularly serious complication of diabetes mellitus. Since its prognosis is poor, even when suitable treatment is provided, the greatest possible care should be devoted to preventing its main cause, namely dehydration.
