Acute hypoxic event at birth. Evaluate brain structures. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass or edema. There is diffuse low attenuation in the subcortical tissues consistent with unmyelinated brain tissue, an expected finding given the patient's age. There are no CT findings of hypoxic injury -- if clinical concern remains recommend noncontrast MRI.The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration.The calvaria and skull base are radiographically normal. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are normally pneumatized.
Unremarkable brain CT. If clinical concern remains for hypoxic injury, recommend noncontrast MRI.
