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.
