Cortical laminar necrosis appears as hyperinense lesions with a laminar pattern on T1 weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, without signs of hemorrhage or calcification on T2 weighted MR imaging or computed tomography. It has been reported to be associated with hypoxia, metabolic disturbances, drugs, and infections. We present a 12 month-old male infant who suffered diffuse brain injuries following car accident and showed laminar necrosis of cortex.

A 7-year-old, intact, female Siberian husky presented with vomiting and diarrhea after a fight with a dog with which it lived. The bitch was diagnosed with pyometra and severe dehydration. The patient received IV fluid therapy for 2 day pre- and post-operatively. Four days post-surgery, the patient had a decreased level of consciousness and suffered a tonic-clonic generalized seizure. On magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological findings, a diagnosis of laminar cortical necrosis caused by fluid overload was made. This case provides important information on the potential for fluid overload in a dehydrated patient giving rise to critical condition and death.
