Reversible global hypoperfusion in an adult patient with a mixed diabetic ketoacidosis/hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma: A case report

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a severe complication of diabetes mellitus. We report a case of global hypoperfusion in an elderly patient on CT, with complete resolution shown on early MRI follow-up. Metabolic causes have always to be included in the differential diagnosis of diffuse hypoperfusion in the appropriate clinical setting.
