Delayed neurological deterioration after hypoxia is uncommon. Here we report a case of reversible delayed leukoencephalopathy following intravenous heroin intoxication with hypoxia. A 42-year-old man presented disturbed consciousness and unstable hemodynamic status after intravenous heroin
BACKGROUND
Neurologic deterioration occurring days to weeks after a cerebral hypoxic event accompanied by diffuse white matter demyelination is called delayed posthypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL). Manifestations of DPHL are diverse and include dementia, gait disturbance, incontinence, pyramidal
In order to promote alertness and awareness in patients with severe disorders of consciousness (DOC) frontal near infrared laser stimulation (N-LT) or transcranial focused shock wave therapy (F-SWT) might be an option. The study compared both techniques in severe chronic DOC patients.

A 62-year-old man who developed akinetic mutism with delayed white matter demyelination after hypoxia was treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). HBO in the subacute period markedly improved the patient's activity in daily life, cognitive function and organization on EEG. 1H-MRS showed a recovery of
BACKGROUND
Delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL) is a demyelinating disorder characterized by neuropsychiatric symptoms occurring a few days to some weeks following cerebral hypoxia.
METHODS
A 50-year old female patient showed rapidly progressive cognitive deterioration with apathy, mutism
We describe one patient and review the literature to define delayed posthypoxic leukoencephalopathy, its etiology, pathophysiology and prognosis. We present a 54-year-old man with confusion and diffuse rigidity following a morphine overdose that had required intubation three weeks previously. A
We reported the pathological findings of an autopsy case of anoxic encephalopathy, with special reference to the topography of degenerative changes in the nervous system. A 47 year-old man, who had an episode of sudden upper air-way obstruction although his radial artery pulsation was maintained,
Maintaining the airway in patients in intensive care unit (ICU) is often a vitally important issue for successful treatment of patients. The aim of the study was to identify the complications as the most common causes of difficult ventilation in ICU patients. This retrospective study included 12
