Objective To investigate the causes of misdiagnosis of hypoglycemic encephalopathy in the elderly. Methods A retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of 16 elderly patients with hypoglycemic encephalopathy misdiagnosed initially in our hospital from September 2000 to October 2005. Results Sixteen patients were initially misdiagnosed as acute cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy or encephalitis. Conclusion Misdiagnosis is not uncommon in elderly patients with hypoglycemic encephalopathy. Therefore, examination of blood sugar must be performed as routine for the elderly patients suffering from accidental conscious disturbance, epileptic attack, or mental anomaly in order to make definite diagnosis and correct treatment as soon as possible, and to avoid poor prognosis.
