Brain Injury Patterns in Hypoglycemia in Neonatal Encephalopathy

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Low glucose values are often seen in term infants with NE, including HIE, yet the contribution of hypoglycemia to the pattern of neurologic injury remains unclear. We hypothesized that MR features of neonatal hypoglycemia could be detected, superimposed on the predominant HIE injury pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Term neonates (n = 179) with NE were prospectively imaged with day-3 MR studies and had glucose data …
