[Delayed postanoxic encephalopathy after strangulation--the serial neuroradiological and neurochemical studies].
Rinshō Shinkeigaku = Clinical Neurology 1990 July
A 13-year-old boy was the victim of a strangulation attempt. His behavior was normal by the 6th day after the assault. However, from the 7th day, he developed choreoathetosis, dystonia and marked pseudobulbar palsy. CT and T2-weighted MRI at this time revealed a low density and high signal intensity in the region of the bilateral putamen and caudate respectively for the first time. Thereafter, these symptoms and changes in CTs and MRIs subsided gradually over two months. Sequential analysis of CSF for GABA and dopamine during illness revealed reciprocal changes each other with normal recovery. Because of delayed onset of neurological changes, and findings of CSF with reversible symptoms the delayed encephalopathy after strangulation is probably related to biochemical alteration secondary to anoxia in vulnerable basal ganglia.
