Anoxic brain injury, also known as global hypoxic-ischemic injury, is seen in all age groups (from antenatal to the elderly) as a result of numerous etiologies. The pattern of injury depends on a number of factors including:
- age of the patient (brain maturity)
- the severity of the hypoxic-ischemic insult
- duration of the hypoxic-ischemic insult
- timing of imaging studies: early imaging findings can be subtle and are often overlooked
