OBJECTIVE: To determine the correlation between clinical, psychometric, and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings after an episode of hypoglycemic
coma resulting in amnesia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Detailed
psychometric assessment, especially memory testing, performed with MRI in a
man with severe amnesia after hypoglycemic coma. RESULTS: Psychometric
testing confirmed impaired immediate recall. MRI findings were consistent
with a lesion in the left temporal lobe. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first
description of MRI in determining the neurological damage in hypoglycemic
coma.
