A case is described of symmetrical cavitating brain stem necrosis produced by cardiac arrest in a premature infant. Two months after birth this 25-week gestational age infant suffered a prolonged episode of bradycardia. She was resuscitated and then died 3 weeks later. The autopsy revealed striking bilateral cavitation of the brain stem tegmentum extending in a columnar fashion from the upper portion of the spinal cord to the hypothalamus. The findings in this case are identical to the brain stem injury experimentally produced by complete cardiac arrest in the rhesus monkey.
本文描述了一例早产儿因心脏骤停导致对称性脑干空洞性坏死的病例。该孕25周的婴儿出生后两个月发生了长时间的心动过缓。她经复苏后，3周后死亡。尸检显示脑干被盖部有明显的双侧空洞形成，呈柱状从脊髓上部延伸至下丘脑。该病例的发现与恒河猴完全心脏骤停实验所产生的脑干损伤相同。
