A state of reversed hypoxic encephalopathy following attempted suicidal hanging: a boon

Normal functional condition of the brain is achieved by maintaining the normal structure and normal function of brain parenchyma. Reduced blood supply and deficiency of available oxygen alter brain perfusion which causes hypoxia or anoxia, and, depending on the severity, alters brain functions tempo...

description Normal functional condition of the brain is achieved by maintaining the normal structure and normal function of brain parenchyma. Reduced blood supply and deficiency of available oxygen alter brain perfusion which causes hypoxia or anoxia, and, depending on the severity, alters brain functions temporarily or permanently. This can occur in cases of hanging. Some degree of permanent cerebral damage is inevitable if hypoxic-ischaemia lasts beyond 3–5 minutes. Here we present a case report in which even though the patient was hanged for more than five minutes until the formation of a ligature mark and exhibited cyanosis, unconsciousness and seizures, the outcome was favourable with prompt and early intervention. Recovery was complete such that there were no residual signs and symptoms of reduced brain perfusion.
