| Abstract: | Abstract: Cerebral edema is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adolescents with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We report a case of an adolescent female with life-threatening DKA-related cerebral edema who responded to a combination of mannitol and hypertonic saline. This is the first report of the use of hypertonic saline in the treatment of cerebral edema due to DKA. |
