Hypoglycaemic coma with chlorpropamide.
MILD hypoglycaemic reactions are well recognized as a complication of chlorpropamide therapy, and have been estimated as occurring in 7% of all cases (Stowers & Bewsher, 1962). Severe hypoglycaemic coma due to this drug seems, however, to have been infrequently recognized, and we have been able to find only four isolated reports of this condition in the literature (Coates & Robbins, 1959; Bloch...
متن کاملHypoglycaemic coma after partial gastrectomy.
distension undoubtedly allowed a clear demarcation between normal and dilated colon. The presence of tenderness in the left lumbar region followed by haematuria on the evening of admission suggests that the left kidney was ruptured by the original injury. The intact posterior parietal peritoneum provided good splintage for the injured kidney until the nineteenth day when this barrier had to be ...
متن کاملMotor aphasia due to prolonged hypoglycaemic coma in a patient with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
A 45-year-old insulin-dependent diabetic man was in a hypoglycaemic coma for one month but recovered after continuous infusion of glucose and insulin. An isolated neurological deficit, motor aphasia, persisted after recovery from the coma. Repeated computerized tomography did not demonstrate any abnormal findings attributable to coma or aphasia. Precise follow-up examinations of aphasia showed ...
متن کاملMuscle wasting after prolonged hypoglycaemic coma: case report with electrophysiological data.
A case of distal muscle wasting associated with hypoglycaemia is described. Motor and sensory conduction studies are reported that provide little evidence of a hypoglycaemic peripheral neuropathy. Damage to anterior horn cells or motor roots appears to be a more likely explanation for the amyotrophy. Recovery occurred clinically with evidence of reinnervation by axonal collateral sprouting.
متن کاملHypoglycaemic coma associated with gastric carcinoma.
Gastric carcinoma may rarely be the cause of tumour-associated hypoglycaemia. We report the case of an elderly woman who presented in hypoglycaemic coma, and who was found subsequently to have an adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Hypoglycaemia persisted despite prednisolone, diazoxide, and a high concentration dextrose infusion. The few published cases are reviewed in which an association was esta...
