Abstract

Cerebral edema accounts for 90% of intracerebral complications in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Stroke has been reported to account for 10% of intracerebral complications of DKA in children. It may be underrecognized because its presentation may be subtle. This case report aims to raise awareness of stroke presentation and risk factors in pediatric DKA. A previously healthy two-year-old female presented to the emergency department one day before admission with loss of consciousness and was diagnosed with DKA. The recognition of left hemiparesis was on the 9th day of hospitalization. After 14 days of hospitalization, the patient had recurrent seizures. Computed tomography and angiography revealed subacute ischemic transformative to subacute hemorrhagic stroke. During the follow-up, the symptoms of hemiparesis improved with routine physiotherapy, with some partial palsy of the third cranial nerve remaining. Risk factors for stroke in the patient were the severity of dehydration during DKA, younger age of onset, delayed DKA treatment, and iron deficiency anemia. Suspicion of stroke is necessary even if a subtle neurologic deficit occurs.
