Full-term infant with acute sentinel event (ruptured uterus) with MRI pattern suggestive of acute near total asphyxia. a Inversion recovery sequence (TR 5038/TE 30/TI 600) does not show a normal signal within the posterior limb of the internal capsule, but areas of increased signal intensity within thalami and basal ganglia. DWI (b–d) shows restricted diffusion in the ventrolateral thalami, lentiform nuclei, cerebral peduncles, and in the perirolandic cortex. Also note involvement of the hippocampi
