Abstract
- Cortical laminar necrosis appears as hyperinense lesions with a laminar pattern on T1 weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, without signs of hemorrhage or calcification on T2 weighted MR imaging or computed tomography. It has been reported to be associated with hypoxia, metabolic disturbances, drugs, and infections. We present a 12 month-old male infant who suffered diffuse brain injuries following car accident and showed laminar necrosis of cortex.
