abstract：:Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) may be associated with neurologic complications: the most common is cerebral edema while the risk of venous and arterial stroke is rare. There is a pathogenetic link between DKA, hypercoagulability and stroke, whose risk is underestimated by clinicians. Our cases present a wide spectrum of ...
