摘要

In Mexico City, a 49-year-old man underwent strangulation, which led to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and subsequently to delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL), a rare demyelinating condition. Following the attack, he exhibited aphasia, dysphagia, and other neuropsychiatric symptoms that progressed to dementia. Imaging and brain biopsy analyses disclosed extensive ischemic damage and reactive gliosis. This case underscores the link between strangulation, acute HIE, and the subsequent development of DPHL, as well as an interpretation of the physiological implications of DPHL due to strangulation.
