Intrapartum asphyxia. Term infant, born at 41 weeks’ gestation with asphyxia and hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy, treated with hypothermia. a, b Ultrasound on admission showing subtle increased echogenicity of the thalami on the coronal (a) but not on the sagittal (b) images. c, d Three days later, there is clearly abnormal increased echogenicity of the thalami in both planes (arrows), which are separated from more mildly echogenic basal ganglia by a band of low echogenicity, representing the posterior limb of the internal capsule (arrowhead).
