Bilateral watershed infarction can occur after systemic trauma without head injury. Prompt resuscitation is crucial to prevent brain damage from low blood pressure.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Trauma Medicine
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Watershed infarction is typically associated with cerebral trauma, often resulting from increased intracranial pressure or systemic hypotension.
  • Previous literature has primarily linked watershed infarcts to direct head or neck injuries.

Observation:

  • This case report details bilateral watershed infarction in a patient following blunt systemic trauma.
  • Crucially, the patient had no discernible head or neck trauma.

Findings:

  • The study highlights a novel presentation of watershed infarction secondary to systemic trauma.
  • It underscores the critical role of immediate resuscitation in mitigating secondary brain injury caused by systemic hypotension.
  • The utility of HMPAO-SPET (hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime-labeled single-photon emission computed tomography) in identifying cerebral perfusion deficits is discussed.

Implications:

  • This finding expands the understanding of potential causes for watershed infarction beyond direct cranial trauma.
  • It emphasizes the need for vigilant monitoring of cerebral perfusion in patients with severe systemic trauma, even without head injury.
  • Early and effective resuscitation strategies are vital for preventing neurological complications in trauma patients.
