ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the correlation between clinical, psychometric, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings after an episode of hypoglycemic coma resulting in amnesia. RESEARCH DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
Detailed psychometric assessment, especially memory testing, performed with MRI in a man with severe amnesia after hypoglycemic coma.RESULTS:
Psychometric testing confirmed impaired immediate recall. MRI findings were consistent with a lesion in the left temporal lobe.CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first description of MRI in determining the neurological damage in hypoglycemic coma.
