Pediatric osmotic demyelination syndrome in a case of type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic ketoacidosis

Ashlesha Chaudhary et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

Cautious treatment of hyponatremia in diabetic ketoacidosis is necessary in order to avoid the development of osmotic demyelination syndrome which is a demyelinating disorder. Individualized supportive therapy would be fruitful for the management of such cases but there is a need for larger studies to guide the management.

Keywords: case reports; central pontine myelinolysis; diabetic ketoacidosis; hyponatremia.
