There was no known period of global brain ischemia. She had a score of 7 on the Glasgow coma scale. CT scan showed bitemporal hippocampal atrophy and SPECT showed non-activated area on right temporal and temporo-occipital regions. There has been few reports relating to the involvement of the brain as documented on CT and SPECT.
