Abstract
A "bright thalamus" is not uncommonly observed in cranial sonograms of asphyxiated neonates, but not those of older infants. Three infants, aged 9-14 months, developed acute onset of seizures and disturbance of consciousness after a minor prodromal illness. Bilateral thalamic infarcts were demonstrated by ultrasonography and CT. One patient expired from causes not directly related to the infarcts; the other two survived with severe neurological sequelae.Entities:
