I believe that most (or all) of the research has been done on pediatric patients, simply because it is much more common in pediatric DKA (1-3% of cases). It is my understanding that the etiology is unknown. The two most frequently suggested causes include bicarb administration and over-hydration +/- too rapid correction of hyperglycemia.. However, neither cause is proven. Conceptually, all those factors could produce an effect because the brain generates idiogenic osmoles during DKA to counteract the effect of an increased serum osmolality due to hyperglycemia + IV dehydration. The generation of idiogenic osmoles

Officials conducting the autopsy said it may be up to 60 days before they know the exact cause of death for the man who won both the Giro d' Italia and Tour de France in 1998. "We can't rule out any cause of death," said Professor Giuseppe Fortuni after the autopsy. "Today's autopsy is only the first in a long series of tests. It will be a few weeks before we know the exact cause of death." Pantani, a former winner of the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia, both in 1998, was found dead at 34 on Saturday in a hotel room in the Adriatic coastal resort of Rimini. "We will make very precise exams in the laboratory in addition to those of the clinical type," Fortuni said. "We will then have microscopic exams and consider all hypotheses excluding none of them. We are just at the first phase."

66. Dka Risk factors for development of cerebral edema in children with diabetic ketoacidosis. Oneof the lifethreatening complications of DKA is cerebral edema. http://www.uic.edu/pharmacy/services/di/dka.htm

Drug Information Center Risk factors for development of cerebral edema in children with diabetic ketoacidosis Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous group of syndromes characterized by an increase in blood glucose. It is caused by an absolute (type 1) or relative (type 2) lack of the hormone, insulin. In type 1 diabetes, which is more common in children, there is a destruction of the b cells of the pancreas by autoimmune antibodies. Approximately 25 to 40 percent of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus will initially be diagnosed upon presentation with ketoacidosis. One of the life-threatening complications of DKA is cerebral edema. Cerebral edema occurs in 1% of children with DKA and is associated with a mortality rate of 40 to 90%. Manifestations of cerebral edema are usually seen several hours after the initiation of therapy. These clinical signs consist of elevated intracranial pressure, alteration and deterioration in alertness or conscious state, diminished reflexes, unequal pupils, or fixed dilated pupils. There is now increasing evidence that subclinical cerebral edema exists in numerous patients treated with insulin and fluids, however it is clinically manifested in few patients. There are few theories hypothesized as to the development of cerebral edema in children with DKA. One of the theories is accumulation of osmolytes in brain cells exposed to hyperosmolar conditions, which can lead to cerebral edema when there is a rapid decrease in extracellular osmolality during treatment. However, the data in this study support another theory, linked to brain ischemia. Factors that can lead to brain ischemia are hypocapnea and dehydration caused by vasoconstriction. In addition, bicarbonate therapy may cause hypoxia via depression of the central nervous system.

Burns School of Medicine This is a 5-year old female who is brought to the emergency department at 8:00 a.m. because she was poorly responsive when her mother awoke her in the morning. This prompted her mother to drive her to the E.D. There is a history of headache and vomiting during the evening and night. There is no history of trauma. Exam: VS T36.7 (rectal), P92, R32, BP 137/97. She is minimally responsive. Pupils equal and reactive. There are no signs of external trauma. Within minutes of arrival, she exhibits extensor posturing. She is orally intubated using the rapid sequence induction method with atropine, thiopental, and vecuronium. She is hyperventilated. End-tidal CO2 monitoring is used to keep her pCO2 in the 25 mmHg range. A loading dose of phenytoin is administered. An emergency CT scan is ordered. View CT scan. The image on the left is a high CT cut which should show the sulci and gyri well. Due to increased ICP, the cortex is compressed up against the calvarium losing the distinctness of the sulci and gyri. The space between the cortex and the calvarium is obliterated. The sulci/gyri sign cannot be totally relied upon in some instances. In cases of external hydrocephalus or chronic (or subacute) subdural effusions, fluid collects over the cortex. The fluid space between the cortex and the calvarium appears to be increased and the sulci/gyri may appear prominent. View prominent sulci/gyri.

FACTORES DE RIESGO DE EDEMA CEREBRAL EN NIÑOS CON CETOACIDOSIS DIABÉTICA Palabras claves: factores de riesgo, edema cerebral, acidosis diabética. La cetoacidosis diabética ocurre en el 25-40% de los niños con diabetes mellitus tipo I recientemente diagnosticada, y puede recurrir luego, por asociarse con otras enfermedades o falta de cumplimiento del tratamiento. El edema cerebral ocurre en el 1% de los casos de cetoacidosis diabética en niños, pero cuando se presenta se asocia con un elevado porcentaje de mortalidad (40-90%). El mecanismo por el cual se produce el edema cerebral es todavía controvertido, por lo que Glaser y col. evaluaron la asociación de esta complicación con características demográficas, características bioquímicas inicial, intervenciones terapéuticas, y cambios en los valores de laboratorio durante el tratamiento. Encontraron una incidencia de edema cerebral de 0,9% de los casos de cetoacidosis diabética. El diagnóstico se basó en deterioro del estado mental acompañado por evidencia radiográfica. La hipocapnia causa vasoconstricción cerebral, deshidratación extrema con su consiguiente hipoxia cerebral, que se exacerba con la terapia con bicarbonato. La hiperglucemia sobreimpuesta altera la barrera hemato-encefálica, que se puede agravar luego de varias horas (4-12 hs) de tratamiento debido a la liberación de sustancias vasoactivas y mediadores de la inflamación. Este mecanismo se puede agravar con tratamientos con altas dosis de insulina y la administración de bicarbonato o grandes volúmenes de solución hipotónica.

HIGH ALTITUDE CEREBRAL EDEMA OR MOUNTAIN SICKNESS Travellers to high altitudes, both mountains climbers and trekkers, should be advised of the potential hazard of acute mountain sickness. Tour companies offer itineraries to Nepal where trekkers climb to over 6,000 metres, to Mount Kilimanjaro in East Africa 6,000 metres, to Andean passes in South Africa 4,000 metres, and to Swiss Alps. These trips are often advertised as being quite easy. However, only those who are healthy and well trained should take part in such expeditions. Anyone in doubt, especially with a history of cardiac or respiratory complaint should undergo medical examination and seek medical advice. Even those who are fit run the risk of acute Mountain sickness during rapid ascent to high altitudes if they spend more than half a day above 2,500 metres. A number of studies have shown a correlation between incidence of that disease and altitude: in the Swiss Alps, high altitude sickness have been observed in 9% of climbers at 2,850 meters, 34% at 3,650 metres, and 53% at 4,559 metres. Having normal heart and lung functions based on examination findings (such as an ECG) does not imply a reduced risk. It is often the young and fit who fall ill.

HACE - High Altitude Cerebral Edema AMS is a spectrum of illness, from mild to life-threatening. At the "severely ill" end of this spectrum is High Altitude Cerebral Edema; this is when the brain swells and ceases to function properly. HACE can progress rapidly, and can be fatal in a matter of a few hours to one or two days. Persons with this illness are often confused, and may not recognize that they are ill. Descend immeadiately People with HACE usually survive if they descend soon enough and far enough, and usually recover completely. The staggering gait may persist for days after descent. Once recovery has been complete, and there are no symptoms, cautious re-ascent is acceptable. Back to main page...

BestHealth - Health Information Health Encyclopedia Surgeries and Procedures Health Centers ... Outdoor Health hace High-Altitude Cerebral Edema High-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is the medical term for a disorder (theoretically linked to brain swelling) that involves an alteration of mental status seen at high altitude, related to diminished atmospheric oxygen. Symptoms include difficulty walking (inability to walk a straight line, staggering, or frank inability to walk), headache (often throbbing), confusion, difficulty in speaking, drowsiness, vomiting, and, in severe cases, blindness, unconsciousness, paralysis, and/or coma. A victim may suffer from HACE and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) at the same time. Other symptoms may include hallucinations, paralysis of an arm and/or leg, and seizures. Victims are often gray or pale in appearance. Imbalance or the inability to walk heel to toe in a straight line is a very worrisome sign and should prompt immediate action to treat the victim. The treatment for HACE is immediate descent to an altitude below one at which the victim previously had no symptoms, and the
