[Two cases of two-year-old girls with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy induced by convulsive status].
We reported two cases of two-year-old girls with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Their symptom was coma induced by seizures with respective factors. CT image on subacute stage showed the decreased density of the whole brain except for the primary sensorimotor cortex and the occipital lobe. MRI and CT images on chronic stage revealed generalized atrophy with no abnormal density areas. 99mTc-ECD SPECT on chronic stage showed low perfusion in the whole brain except for the primary sensorimotor cortex and the occipital lobe, in which areas brain tissue is considered to be injured easily in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The paradoxical distribution of abnormal cerebral perfusion areas in our cases was reported in this paper.
