Hypoglycemic Encephalopathy

ABSTRACT Hypoglycemic encephalopathy (HE) is a critical condition that can be challenging to early diagnose early; it can cause long‐lasting mental changes, disability, and even death. Herein, we describe a case of a 59‐year‐old male patient with HE occurring in acute alcoholism, the MRI, especially diffusion‐weighted imaging, showed diffuse high‐signal intensity in the bilateral basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, periventricular region, centrum semiovale, and corpus callosum.
