Delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL) is an uncommon, potentially under-recognized, cause of hypoxia induced white matter injury. It characteristically follows a biphasic course: After an initial phase of altered neurologic status a recovery occurs which is then followed by a recurring phase of neurologic deterioration, typically 2-4 weeks after the initial event. At this time white matter changes can be identified on MRI, which are the hallmark of DPHL. The characteristics and the typical MR-imaging signs of DPHL are discussed in this case report.
迟发性缺氧后白质脑病(DPHL)是一种罕见的、可能未被充分认识的缺氧性白质损伤原因。其典型病程呈双相性:在最初的神经功能状态改变阶段之后会出现恢复,随后是神经功能恶化的复发阶段,通常在初始事件发生后2 - 4周出现。此时,磁共振成像(MRI)上可发现白质改变,这是DPHL的标志。本病例报告讨论了DPHL的特征及典型的磁共振成像征象。
