Case report: Delayed posttraumatic cortical laminar necrosis secondary to spreading depolarization induced spreading ischemia from old subarachnoid hemorrhage

Cortical laminar necrosis usually occurs secondary to infarcts or hypoxia, however other causes, including hypoglycemia, status epilepticus and immunosuppressive therapy have been reported. To our knowledge, CLN is not a phenomenon expected in the case of trauma. We report a unique case of delayed p...

Sumario:Cortical laminar necrosis usually occurs secondary to infarcts or hypoxia, however other causes, including hypoglycemia, status epilepticus and immunosuppressive therapy have been reported. To our knowledge, CLN is not a phenomenon expected in the case of trauma. We report a unique case of delayed post-traumatic CLN which occurred 30 days after the initial trauma, without any proven cause apart from possible spreading depolarization induced spreading ischemia from adjacent subarachnoid hemorrhage with distinct radiologic features.
