TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Delayed diffusion-weighted MR abnormality in a patient with an extensive acute cerebral hypoxic injury JO - Acta radiologica (1987) A1 - Hald, J. K. A1 - Brunberg, J. A. A1 - Dublin, A. B. A1 - Wootton-Gorges, S. L. SP - 343 EP - 346 VL - 44 IS - 3 N2 - Diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging usually identifies acute cerebral infarction injury in symptomatic patients. We report a patient with severe hypoxic brain injury following suicide attempt by hanging, but with normal DW MR imaging 5-6 h after the event. Follow-up DW MR imaging 3 days after the event, and subsequent autopsy, revealed extensive cerebral anoxic injury.
