FIG 3. Patient 6. Neonate of estimated 41-week gestational age with placental abruption, no spontaneous respirations, and seizures. Life support was withdrawn at 23 hours of life.
A, Axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo image (3200/85/1), with an echo train length of 8, obtained at 18 hours of life shows no brain abnormality. Small bilateral occipital subdural hematomas are present.
B, Trace LSDI image (1520/62.5/1), with a b max of 750 seconds/mm2, shows decreased diffusion (hyperintensity) bilaterally in the basal ganglia and thalami. Note that the frontal and parietal lobe cortex and white matter appear to have normal diffusion. Pathologic analysis revealed diffuse infarction was present throughout the brain.
