Résumé

A 68-year-old woman presented with chest pain and loss of consciousness following an anterior wall myocardial infarction. Magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed features of hypoxic brain injury. She subsequently developed memory deficits, drowsiness and behavioral changes. Magnetic resonance imaging of brain done 4 months after ischemic insult showed evidence of delayed posthypoxic leukoencephalopathy also known as Grinker's myelinopathy.
