Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can result in neuropathic abnormalities of the somatic and the autonomous nervous systems. We report the case of a 50-year-old man with Type 1 diabetes of 20-year duration who after severe DKA lost vision in his right eye and only retain partial vision in his left. This case demonstrates that optic neural tissue is vulnerable to haemodynamic and metabolic complications of DKA.Entities:
