TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Two cases of traumatic head injury mimicking acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion JO - Brain and development A1 - Nishiyama, Masahiro A1 - Fujita, Kyoko A1 - Maruyama, Azusa A1 - Nagase, Hiroaki SP - 928 EP - 931 VL - 36 IS - 10 N2 - Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) presents a distinct clinical course of biphasic seizures and impaired consciousness. These symptoms are followed by reduced diffusion in the subcortical white matter on magnetic resonance imaging that is typically observed between 3 and 9days after illness onset. Here, we report two cases of traumatic head injury with clinical and radiological features similar to those for AESD. The similarities between our cases and AESD may be useful in understanding the pathogenesis of AESD.
