Although previous studies have reported on the effectiveness of brain hypothermia therapy in childhood acute encephalopathy, additional studies in this field are necessary. In this review, we discussed brain hypothermia therapy methods for two clinical conditions for which sufficient evidences are currently available in the literature. The first condition is known as hypoxic-ischemic encephalop...

We describe a case of atypical hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in a neonate following a normal pregnancy and delivery who was found to have an umbilical vein thrombosis. The infant arrived to our center with continuous bicycling movement of her lower extremities. She had a continuous electroencephalogram that showed burst suppression and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed diff...

Background: Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy is a frequently encountered occurrence in pediatric setting and more prevalent the low middle income countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) considered reliable source of investigation. Our study determined findings cause ischemic encephalopathy children referred for MR Imaging to our radiology department. Study design: A prospective cross-section...

Surkov. Temperature and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encefalopathy 1 Key points Therapeutic hypothermia or targeted temperature management has been shown to improve outcome after perinatal asphyxia in large clinical trials. Controlled cooling has become the standard of care for newborns with hypoxicischemic encephalopathy but preference of its method still remains controversial. The efficacy and s...

Introduction Perinatal hypoxia-ischemia affects approximately 2 to 4 per 1,000 term infants and a much greater proportion of preterm infants. Despite improved methods of intrapartum monitoring and advances in neonatal care and treatment, neonatal hypoxic-ischemic injury produces significant morbidity and mortality, often leading to long-term neurologic consequences. Neurologic sequelae of hypox...
