Abstract:
Seizures are a common presenting manifestation in patients in a nonketotic hyperglycemic(NKH) hyperosmolar state and the MR findings are typically hyperintense on T2 weighted (T2-W) and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images. We recently experienced a case of the patient with partial seizure and nonketotic hyperglycemia who showed T2-W and FLAIR hypointensities with T1 weighted (T1-W) contrast enhancement.
