==Overview==
In the early hours and days after anoxic brain injury, there is often diffuse [[cerebral edema]] and blurring of the border between the grey and white matter.  In some patients there may be discrete infarcts after a few days. If there is irreversible bilateral medial tegmental [[brainstem]] injury, then patients do not survive.
