Transient cataracts in a diabetic child with hyperosmolar coma.

چکیده
Temporary lens opacities in diabetic coma were noted by Lawrence, Oakley, and Barne (1942) and thought to be common if the lens was carefully examined. This does not appear to have been frequently discussed, but Sheldon and Pyke (i 968) showed pictures of opacities in the lens of a girl aged Io years, which cleared rapidly with treatment of the diabetic coma. Neuberg, Griscom, and Burns (1958) found only six documented case reports to show acute development and complete reversal of diabetic cataracts and four cases in which the development was unknown but clearing occurred completely. Because only Lawrence and others (1942) noticed complete opacification of the lens in diabetic coma, we thought it valuable to report this case of transient complete opacification of both lenses, complicating hyperosmolar, hyperglycaemic, hypernatraemic coma in a diabetic child of nearly 4 years old; this type of diabetic coma is rare in childhood (McCurdy, I970).

Bilateral cataract formation via acute spontaneous fracture of the lens following treatment of hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome
Purpose Acute development of cataracts that may be transient is known to occur during correction of diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome. Nettleship in 1885 was the first to describe the presence of a transient cataract in three diabetic patients that grew worse and eventually cleared with treatment.1 We present a case of irreversible cataracts formed by nuclear fractur...

Generally, cardiac arrest due to pulseless electrical activity has a poor outcome, except when reversible factors such as acute hyperkalaemia are identified and managed early. Hyperosmolar diabetic non-ketotic coma may lead to acute hyperkalaemia. Hyperosmolar diabetic non-ketotic coma is a metabolic emergency usually seen in elderly non-insulin dependent diabetics, characterized by severe hype...

Rhabdomyolysis is a rare but potentially fatal complication of hyperosmolar states. We report a case of severe hyperosmolar non-ketotic diabetic coma causing rhabdomyolysis in a young man. Despite very high levels of creatine kinase there was no detectable myoglobinuria. Creatine kinase estimation should be a standard investigation in all patients presenting with a hyperosmolar state.

Both patients had evidence of infarction of intestine at necropsy. Vascular thromboses are a maj...
