[PDF][PDF] Neuropathologic findings in three cases of profound hypoglycemia
RN Auer, J Hugh, E Cosgrove, B Curry - Clin Neuropathol, 1989 - researchgate.net
Three clinical cases of profound hypoglycemia are described with survival periods ranging
from 2% months to 6 years. Although prolonged clinical coma was present in all cases, only
subtle evidence of neuronal loss was found, The value of immunohistochemical examination
of the grey and white matter of the telencephalon in detecting evidence of neuronal loss in
such cases is demonstrated. Infarcts were uniformly absent, as would be expected from the
lack of cerebral acidosis in hypoglycemia. In addition to the usual absence of infarction, the …
