ABSTRACT
Profound hypoglycemia results in significant brain injury because glucose is essential for normal brain functioning. We present here a case of transient neonatal hypoglycemia with diffuse brain injury. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed 2 days after onset, and this revealed bilateral regions of restricted diffusion in the parietal, occipital, frontal and temporal lobes. On the T1-weighted images, the regions showed indistinct gray matter-white matter differentiation. There were subtle high signal intensity lesions along the corresponding regions of the FLAIR and T2-weighted images.
