Brain injury as a result of oxygen deprivation either due to hypoxic or anoxic mechanisms are generally termed hypoxic/anoxic injuries (HAI). Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy ( HIE ) is a condition that occurs when the entire brain is deprived of an adequate oxygen supply, but the deprivation is not total.
Grinker's myelinopathy, also known as anoxic leukoencephalopathy, [2] is a rare disease of the central nervous system. The disease is characterized by a delayed leukoencephalopathy after a hypoxic episode. [2] It is typically, though not necessarily, related to carbon monoxide poisoning or heroin overdose.
Diffuse injury has more microscopic injury than macroscopic injury and is difficult to detect with CT and MRI, but its presence can be inferred when small bleeds are visible in the corpus callosum or the cerebral cortex. [34] MRI is more useful than CT for detecting characteristics of diffuse axonal injury in the subacute and chronic time ...
Brain injury; Other names: Brain damage, neurotrauma: A CT of the head years after a traumatic brain injury showing an empty space where the damage occurred, marked by the arrow: Specialty: Neurology: Symptoms: Depending on brain area injured: Types: Acquired brain injury (ABI), traumatic brain injury (TBI), focal or diffuse, primary and secondary
Actor Anne Heche is legally dead after suffering a "severe anoxic brain injury" due to a car accident in Los Angeles last week.
Anoxic depolarization is induced by the loss of neuronal selective membrane permeability and the ion gradients across the membrane that are needed to support neuronal activity. Normally, the Na+/K+-ATPase pump maintains the transmembrane gradients of K + and Na + ions, but with anoxic brain injury, the supply of energy to drive this pump is ...
