Abnormal magnetic resonance images in hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome.
Hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome is an acute childhood illness that involves the rapid onset of multisystem failure, including central nervous system, renal, cardiovascular, hepatic, and hematologic dysfunction, and often leads to death or serious neurologic damage. We report the first case of a child with hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy in which magnetic resonance imaging was used to define the cortical hemorrhagic involvement.
