Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is a disorder that occurs most frequently in type 2 diabetics and is associated with high mortality - up to 50%. Hypernatremia, when associated with HHS, worsens the prognosis. Encephalopathy is evident at a serum sodium level greater than 160 mOsm/kg.
OBJECTIVE
Predicting which patients are at risk for hemicraniectomy can be helpful for triage and can help preserve neurologic function if detected early. We evaluated basal ganglia imaging predictors for early hemicraniectomy in patients with large territory anterior circulation
A 61-year-old woman who presented with unilateral ptosis and subsequently a lateral rectus weakness was followed for 2.5 years with the diagnosis of ocular myasthenia.
