Hypoglycemic Encephalopathy

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.
