Abstract
A diabetic patient became hypoglycemic with right hemiparesis during a contrast-enhanced CT scan. The scan showed a nonenhancing hypodensity in the left internal capsule, that disappeared the following day after treatment with glucose. This is consistent with experimental models that show selective vulnerability of various brain regions to hypoglycemia.Keywords
