Summary

Delayed post-anoxic encephalopathy (DPE) is rare but may be underdiagnosed. Careful observation of patients with severe anoxia or hypotension can reveal this condition, which has neuro-otological features.

Background:

Delayed post-anoxic encephalopathy (DPE) is a rare neurological condition typically associated with a poor prognosis.
Non-carbon monoxide-related DPE is infrequently documented in medical literature.

Observation:

This report details two surviving patients with non-carbon monoxide DPE.
The cases involved a 21-year-old student experiencing shock from hemorrhage and a 60-year-old man with severe hypoxia and hypotension.

Findings:

The study highlights the neuro-otological characteristics observed in these DPE patients.
Findings suggest DPE may be more common than previously thought, particularly in patients with severe anoxia or hypotension.

Implications:

Early recognition of DPE is crucial for effective patient management.

Further research into the prevalence and characteristics of DPE is warranted.
