Abstract

Objective: The clinical signs and symptoms of brain edema resulting from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) may not always be obvious. When the intracranial pressure increases, the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) simultaneously increases and can be imaged with ultrasonography. We aimed to discuss the determinative features of ONSD measurements in brain edema (BE) in DKA.
