From: Clinical pathophysiology of hypoxic ischemic brain injury after cardiac arrest: a “two-hit” model
Magnetic resonance imaging sequences show focal hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI) within the hippocampi and basal ganglia bilaterally. The images shown represent the acute changes after HIBI within the first week after resuscitation. In the top row, T2-weighted sequences reveal abnormal signaling in the hippocampi and basal ganglia as highlighted by the red arrows. In the bottom row, restricted diffusion-weighted imaging confirms HIBI in the affected regions of the hippocampi and basal ganglia as highlighted by the red arrows
