encephalomalacia/hypoxia

A case of multicystic encephalomalacia found in adult life was described. A 35-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of unsteadiness. He had developed normally until he fell into the shock state induced by mismatch blood transfusion at the age of 15 months. Since then he

Two newborn infants who suffered severe intra-uterine anoxia a few weeks before birth are described. Both died shortly after being born spontaneously and slightly prematurely. In one case the mother had attempted suicide by inhaling butane. The infant's kidneys were hypoplastic and resembled those

OBJECTIVE Multicystic encephalomalacia (EMQ) is a pediatric entity where the brain tissue is substituted by cavities of variably sizes. METHODS Nineteen children diagnosed of EMQ were studied retrospectively. We analyzed the etiology, diagnosis and the clinical and radiological

Perinatal insults, including anoxia, may lead to a form of cerebral necrosis designated multicystic encephalomalacia. This common condition is characterized by (a) moderate atrophic ventricular dilatation, (b) intact ventricular walls with thickened subependymal glial layer, (c) multiple cysts of

A case of multicystic encephalomalacia in a twin is reported. The other twin died in utero at 32 weeks gestational age. Because there was no evidence of fetal distress the pregnancy was allowed to continue until 36 weeks gestational age. Injuries to the surviving twin due to disseminated

In 2011, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) proposed a consensus classification system of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) to distinguish clinicopathological subtypes, for example, "isolated" FCD type Ia-c and IIa-b, versus "associated" FCD type IIIa-d. The histopathological

This study reports the sonographic and computed tomography (CT) findings in seven infants and neonates with intracranial calcifications and a spectrum of underlying disorders, including toxoplasmosis, cytomegalic inclusion disease, transverse/straight sinus thrombosis, and probable anoxia.

Thirty-one neonates without any electroencephalographic activity detectable on the first EEG before day 5 were studied. In the first group (20 neonates) the first EEG was performed on day 0. Signs of foetal and/or perinatal anoxia were observed. In the second group (11 neonates), the first EEG was

BACKGROUND Is it possible to identify patients with cerebral palsy (CP) with postnatal ultrasound scan? Which risk factors are associated with an increased risk of CP?. METHODS The data of 37 children with CP, who were sonographically investigated during the first 24 hours of life were analyzed

BACKGROUND Newborn infants are particularly prone to hypothermia, a condition with a high mortality. OBJECTIVE To study the CT brain patterns in infants with hypothermia and neurological symptoms. METHODS We reviewed the brain CT of nine infants with neonatal hypothermia, multiple organ failure,

A case of a young man who was a victim of strangulation is presented. He arrived at the hospital in refractory status epilepticus, controlled only with intravenous pentobarbital. The initial CT scan showed mild cortical edema. Two days later, a CT scan showed diffuse cortical swelling and bilateral

OBJECTIVE Children with hemoglobin SS sickle cell disease are known to suffer cognitive impairment if they have silent infarct, but recent evidence suggests that patients with hemoglobin SS sickle cell disease may be impaired even if they are free of infarction. We test a hypothesis that cognitive
