Anoxic brain injury, also known as global hypoxic-ischemic injury, is seen in all age groups (from antenatal to the elderly) as a result of numerous etiologies. The pattern of injury depends on a number of factors including:

age of the patient (brain maturity)
- neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
- hypoxic-ischemic injury in older children and adults
the severity of the hypoxic-ischemic insult
duration of the hypoxic-ischemic insult
timing of imaging studies: early imaging findings can be subtle and are often overlooked
