Table 1 The four main MRI patterns in patients with hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury [8]
Subtype of HIBI | Anatomical structure involved | Type of insult |
|---|---|---|
Central RBGT pattern | Deep Nuclei/Perirolandic cortex/Hippocampus | Profound hypoxic episode |
Partial Prolonged or Watershed Pattern | Cerebral Intervascular Watershed Areas | Prolonged, moderate or intermittent |
Mixed RBGT + Watershed Pattern | Deep Nuclei/Cortex/Watershed Areas | Severe, variable in duration |
Cystic Encephalomalacia | Cerebral Cortex White Matter/Basal Nuclei | Total Anoxia |
