Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the leading cause of hospitalizations for pediatric patients with diabetes mellitus. The most severe complication of DKA is cerebral edema that may lead to brain herniation. We present a case report that highlights the subclinical presentation of DKA-related cerebral edema in a pediatric patient and review the acute care management of suspected cerebral edema during transport.
