Objective: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonates. Early and accurate diagnosis is helpful not only for assessing prognosis but also for making treatment decisions. The aim of this study was to explore the value of early assessment of HIE by applying the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in acute (within 72 hours), subacute or chronic stages of HIE in comparison to conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinical practice.

Background And Purpose: Quantitative MR spectroscopy has a proved role in the investigation of hypoxia caused by near drowning. To date, no studies have addressed the MR imaging changes that may also accompany this condition. The purpose of this study was to describe the MR imaging findings in children with hypoxic encephalopathy caused by near drowning and to compare these findings with the results of qualitative and quantitative proton MR spectroscopy and clinical outcome.
