Brain herniation is an extremely rare complication of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) in the neonatal period with only a single report described. We report a 2-day-old term infant with severe HIE, who developed diffuse brain oedema and herniation.
A term female infant delivered by vacuum, required therapeutic hypothermia for severe encephalopathy. At 36 hours of age, a marked change in neurological status was noted with signs of brainstem involvement. A head Computed Tomography Scan showed uncal and tonsillar herniation.
Vigilance in monitoring neonatal neurological status during therapeutic hypothermia is imperative for early brain herniation detection.
脑疝是新生儿缺氧缺血性脑病(HIE)极为罕见的并发症,仅有一篇报道。我们报告一例2日龄足月儿,患有重度HIE,出现弥漫性脑水肿和脑疝。
一名经真空吸引分娩的足月儿女婴,因重度脑病接受治疗性低温治疗。36小时龄时,发现神经状态有显著变化,伴有脑干受累体征。头颅计算机断层扫描显示钩回和扁桃体疝。
在治疗性低温治疗期间,密切监测新生儿神经状态对于早期发现脑疝至关重要。
