[Computer tomography image of brain changes in an adult following resuscitation].
First description of a CT cerebral finding in an adult who had suffered cardiac arrest 14 days prior to CT and had been reanimated. Parts of the cerebral cortex, the thalamus and the brain stem ganglia appear moderately hyperdense; after injection of contrast medium there was a marked enhancement in these regions of the brain. The possible neuropathological correlate of this CT finding is discussed on the basis of relevant literature.
