Two West Indian men with no previous history of diabetes mellitus developed hyperosmolar non-ketotic diabetic coma. Intra-abdominal catastrophes secondary to mesenteric thrombosis played a major part in the death of these patients, in both of whom control of the hyperosmolar state had been achieved. Both patients had evidence of infarction of intestine at necropsy. Vascular thromboses are a major complication of this form of coma and must be considered when such patients develop signs of an acute abdomen.
两名既往无糖尿病病史的西印度男性发生了高渗性非酮症糖尿病昏迷。肠系膜血栓形成继发的腹腔内灾难在这些患者的死亡中起了主要作用,这两名患者的高渗状态均已得到控制。尸检时两名患者均有肠梗死的证据。血管血栓形成是这种昏迷形式的主要并发症,当这类患者出现急腹症体征时必须予以考虑。
