Overview

MRI may be helpful in the workup of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state to rule out conditions that present with an altered state of consciousness such as meningitis, cerebral abscess, encephalitis or stroke. MRI may also aid in the diagnosis of cerebral edema which can be a complication of the treatment hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS).
