Anoxic encephalopathy: Neuroradiological and neuropsychological findings

Abstract
The effects of anoxic brain injury are examined in 12 patients. Neuroradiological as welt as neuropsychological findings are discussed and clinical guidelines offered. The most common neuropsychological profile associated with anoxic brain injury is one in which there is generalized cognitive impairment but with particular deficits in memory function. The common neuropathological findings are manifested by a pattern of diffuse cerebral atrophy as identified by neuroimaging techniques. A detailed case study is presented.
