We report a case of 68-yr-old male who died from brain injuries following an episode of prolonged hypoglycemia. While exploring controversies surrounding magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings indicating the bad prognosis in patients with hypoglycemia-induced brain injuries, we here discuss interesting diffusion-MRI of hypoglycemic brain injuries and their prognostic importance focusing on laminar necrosis of the cerebral cortex.
我们报告了一例 68 岁男性病例,他因长时间低血糖导致脑损伤而死亡。在探讨磁共振成像(MRI)结果所带来的争议时,我们讨论了低血糖性脑损伤的有趣弥散 MRI 及其预后意义,重点是大脑皮层的层状坏死。
