title: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in hypoglycaemic encephalopathy.
abstract: A diabetic man suffering from a hypoglycaemic attack presented to our hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were grossly abnormal and difficult to interpret. The computed tomographic appearance simulated multiple infarctions. The MRI appearance simulated a space occupying lesion. Literature review of the radiology and the pathophysiology of hypoglycaemic brain damage is provided. Comparison between our findings and previous reports is also given.
