Abstract
An 11-year-old boy with poorly controlled diabetes had sudden collapse after the development of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis, with fatal cerebral infarctions. He was heterozygous for factor V Leiden deficiency. This case emphasizes the value of cranial imaging after initial resuscitative treatment of neurologic collapse in diabetic ketoacidosis.
