2 Learning objectives Anoxic Brain Injury is caused by prolonged and severe cerebral hypoperfusion. In adults it occurs most commonly in association with cardiac arrest, severe hypotension or less commonly protracted generalised seizures. The hypoperfusion and ischaemia is leading to diffuse brain injury/infarction, which have characteristic imaging patterns in adults and they differ from those seen in children. Imaging is often requested by physicians to establish extend of hypoxia/ ischemia related to brain damage especially in young adults or in cases of uncertain hypoxic/ ischaemic injury circumstances. There is also rising tendency of imaging use as a part of dead brain diagnosis in potential organs donors especially in ocular injury when brain stem can not be adequately assessed. Knowledge of anoxic brain injury imaging patterns is essential for every practicing radiologist and very important for trainees to avoid misinterpretation and subsequent repercusions.

9 Background Extensive literature and on - line resources review was performed using search terms such as cerebral hypoxic/ischemic (anoxic) brain damage in adults, hypoxic /ischemic encephalopathy, diffuse anoxic brain damage, dead brain imaging patterns etc. Over 100 cases of anoxic brain injury from our institution were reviewed. From a selection of best cases we chose the most accurate CT and MR images to depict in systematic and clear way the imaging findings most commonly associated with the condition.

Diffuse brain parenchyma hypo attenuation with loss of grey/ white matter differentiation and hypo density of basal ganglia. Page 9 of 31

12 Findings and procedure details The brain consumes approximately 15% of the energy generated in the body and it has no energy stores of its own except for a small amount of glycogen in astrocytes. That is a main cause of its susceptibility to damage in settings of energetic crisis. Within the brain there is regional variation in susceptibility to energy depletion with grey matter (cortex and basal ganglia) being most sensitive followed by hipocampii, thalamus and brainstem. This selective vulnerability is caused by differences in morfology for example grey matter consists of neuronal cell bodies and uses approximately 3 times more energy then white matter to maintain resting potentials and restore ionic concentrations after synaptic transmission. Also production of glutamate (exitotoxin released excessively during energy depletion) is different in different areas of the brain. White matter is very rarely affected. Most commonly seen in setting of CO poisoning. Spine is spared in majority of the cases. CT patterns of hypoxic/ ischaemic (anoxic) brain injury: 1. Parenchymal cerebral and/or cerebellar edema with sulcal and other CSF containing spaces. (Fig 1.) 2. Decreased density of cortex with loss of grey/white matter differentiation. Subtle (Fig 1a,b.) or more extensive (Fig1 c,d). Subsequent blurring of the insular ribbons ( Fig 1 c.). 3. Reversal of grey/ white matter differentiation. ( Fig 3.) 4. Hypodensity of basal ganglia and/or caudate nuclei. (Fig 2.) 5. Hyperdensity of cerebellum due to effacement of cerebral parenchyma and relative increase in attenuation of cerebellar parenchyma (called sometimes reversal sign) (Fig 5.) 6. Pseudo - subarachnoid hemorrhage. (Fig 4.) 7. Herniation patterns. 8. Linear cortical enhancement (late sign, seen on CT only in very severe cases, not common) Page 12 of 31
13 9. CTA demostrates reduced or no contrast opacification of intracranial vessels ( especially lack of MCAs opacification and internal cerebral veins). (Fig 6 and 7.) 10. In severe cases of sudden flow cessation hyperdensity of venous sinuses is seen ( Fig 8.) Involvement is usually bilateral and often symmetrical. One or few from above listed features may be demostrated. CT patterns of poor clinical outcome include: reversal of grey/white matter differentiation, involvement of basal ganglia and/ or cerebellum and pseudo - subarachnoid haemorrage. MRI patterns of hypoxic/ ischaemic (anoxic) brain injury: 1. DWI is the earliest (within few hours) imaging modality to become positive (Due to cytotoxic oedema) Restricted diffusion is seen in most cases within cerebral cortex with predominance to sensory, visual and periolandic areas. It varies and may be very subtle (Fig 9.) or diffuse and extesive (Fig 10 c,d.) Early changes may also be seen within cerebellar cortex (Fig. 11), basal ganglia ( Fig 10.), thalami, hipocampii ( Fig 12) and at the level of brainstem (Fig 13 and 14.) 2. T1 and T2 weighted images demostrate no abnormalities in most of the cases in early stages. T2 weighted images typically become positive after 24 hours to 2 weeks and show oedema and increased intensity of the signal of grey matter structures (Fig 10 b.) 3. Hyperintensity of cortex on FLAIR can be seen within few days ( Fig 10 a) 4. T1 hyperintensities indicating cortical laminar necrosis become evident after approximately two weeks. This hyperintense signal does not represent haemorrhage, and it is believed to be caused by the accumulation of denatured proteins in dying cells. 5. In some instances, hypoxia/ ischemia causes bilateral, symmetric cerebral infarcts in the border zones between major arterial territories. It is usually associated with short hypoperfusion ( Fig 15.) Many sources describe it as a sepatate entity to anoxic brain injury as anoxia is not main cause of parenchymal changes, however we decided to demostrate one case of watershed changes as imaging findings oftern overlap. Page 13 of 31
14 MRI patterns of poor clinical outcome include: diffuse involvement of cortex (especially periolandic cortex), deep grey matter (basal ganglia, thalami) and cerebellar involvement. Additionally brainstem or hippocampal (Fig 13,14 and 12.) involvement is usually well demostrated on MRI DWI and is bad prognosis predictors. Dead brain diagnosis: CT Diffuse brain oedema with ventricular and sulcal effacement. Loss of grey/white matter differentiation or its reversal. Cereberral reversal sign. Pseudo - subarachnoid sign. Tonsilar herniation. Hyperdensity of venous system. Lack of MCAs opacification and internal cerebral veins on CTA. MRI Diffuse, extensive grey matter oedema. T1 Diffusely hypointense grey matter. T2 Diffusely hyperintense grey matter. DWI extensive restricted diffusion. Effacement of vetricular system. Brainstem involvement. Tonsillar herniation. Loss of normal flow voids.

31 Conclusion Hypoxic / ischaemic injury patterns are in adults are different then those in children. They are highly variable and depend on severity and lenghth of insult but also modality and time of imaging.
