  2. Cerebral hypoxia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hypoxia

    Cerebral hypoxia is a form of hypoxia (reduced supply of oxygen), specifically involving the brain; when the brain is completely deprived of oxygen, it is called cerebral anoxia. There are four categories of cerebral hypoxia; they are, in order of increasing severity: diffuse cerebral hypoxia (DCH), focal cerebral ischemia , cerebral infarction ...

  3. Pseudosubarachnoid hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudosubarachnoid_hemorrhage

    A pseudosubarachnoid hemorrhage is an apparent increased attenuation on CT scans within the basal cisterns that mimics a true subarachnoid hemorrhage. [1] This occurs in cases of severe cerebral edema, such as by cerebral hypoxia.

  4. Brain ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_ischemia

    Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient bloodflow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. [1] This leads to poor oxygen supply or cerebral hypoxia and thus leads to the death of brain tissue or cerebral infarction/ischemic stroke. [2] It is a sub-type of stroke along with subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage. [3]

  5. Hypoxia (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(medicine)

    Cerebral hypoxia is hypoxia specifically involving the brain. The four categories of cerebral hypoxia in order of increasing severity are: diffuse cerebral hypoxia (DCH), focal cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, and global cerebral ischemia. Prolonged hypoxia induces neuronal cell death via apoptosis, resulting in a hypoxic brain injury ...

  6. Cerebral infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_infarction

    Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [ 2 ]

  7. Brain injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_injury

    CT scans can show brain bleeds, fractures of the skull, fluid build up in the brain that will lead to increased cranial pressure. [ 36 ] MRI is able to better to detect smaller injuries, detect damage within the brain, diffuse axonal injury, injuries to the brainstem, posterior fossa, and subtemporal and subfrontal regions.

  8. Cortical pseudolaminar necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_pseudolaminar...

    Micrograph showing cortical pseudolaminar necrosis. H&E-LFB stain.. Cortical pseudolaminar necrosis, also known as cortical laminar necrosis and simply laminar necrosis, is the death of cells in the cerebral cortex of the brain in a band-like pattern, [1] with a relative preservation of cells immediately adjacent to the meninges.

  9. Neonatal encephalopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonatal_encephalopathy

    Hypoxia refers to deficiency of oxygen, Ischemia refers to restriction in blood flow to the brain. The result is “encephalopathy” which refers to damaged brain cells. Encephalopathy is a nonspecific response of the brain to injury which may occur via multiple methods, but is commonly caused by birth asphyxia, leading to cerebral hypoxia. [2 ...
