A review of the literature on the reported cases of hypoxic brain injury reveals that the predominant clinical residues after pure hypoxic injury are motor disorders, and that the motor disturbances may manifest after significant latency . For example, Feve et al. have described that lesions confined to globus pallidus after a hypoxic brain insult are associated with residual axial motor disturbances. Movement disorders have been described in young children years after the initial hypoxic brain injury.
