  • Title: Wernicke's encephalopathy-like lesions in global cerebral hypoxia.
    Author: Johkura K, Naito M.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2008 Mar; 15(3):318-9. PubMed ID: 18178437.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient with severe hypoxic encephalopathy after cardiac arrest, in which lesions depicted on MRI involved mainly the periaqueductal brainstem, hypothalamus and mamillary bodies, and medial thalami. Hypoxia usually causes cerebro-cerebellar cortical damage. However, it may also cause midline lesions of similar distribution to those of Wernicke's encephalopathy due to thiamine deficiency.
