[Bilateral thalamic hemorrhage following severe asphyxia in a 9-month-old infant].
We report a case of post-asphyxic bilateral thalamic hemorrhage in a 9 month-old infant, consecutive to a hemophilus hypopharyngitis. The neuropathologic study revealed that it was in fact a hemorrhagic necrosis associated to diffuse necrosis of the hemispheres. This case is compared to the other reported cases of thalamic hemorrhage and the physiopathologic mechanism is discussed.
