Presentation
Cardiac arrest
Patient Data
There is loss of grey-white matter differentiation in multiple areas of the supratentorial cortex, with hypoattenuation in multiple cortical areas. The bilateral caudate nuclei, lentiform nuclei, bilateral thalami and the dorsal midbrain are also hypoattenuating. There is mild diffuse cerebral swelling with sulcal effacement and reduced ventricular size. No descending transtentorial or tonsillar herniation. There is no intracranial hemorrhage.
Case Discussion
Severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy with multifocal infarctions (including midbrain, bilateral thalamic, multifocal supratentorial cortical).
