Grinker's myelinopathy, also known as anoxic leukoencephalopathy and delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL),〔 is a rare disease of the central nervous system. Grinker's myelinopathy was originally characterized by Roy R. Grinker in 1925〔H. Bour, Iain McAllan Ledingham, Iain McA. Ledingham (1967) ''Carbon Monoxide Poisoning''. p.73〕〔Hideo H. Itabashi, MD, John M. Andrews, MD, Uwamie Tomiyasu, MD (2007) ''Forensic Neuropathology: A Practical Review of the Fundamentals''. p.295〕 or 1926,〔 depending on the source. The disease is characterized by a delayed leukoencephalopathy after an hypoxic episode.〔 It is typically, though not necessarily, related to carbon monoxide poisoning or heroin overdose. It occurs in roughly 2.8% of those who experience an acute hypoxic/anoxic episode.〔 Because of the wide range of symptoms and the delay in onset, it is often misdiagnosed as other neuropathologies. ==Alternative Names== Though originally characterized as Grinker's Myelinopathy, this disease has received many names, depending on the literature under which it is described, including: *Delayed post-hypoxic Encephalopathy. *Delayed post-hypoxic Leukoencephalopathy (DPHL)〔 *Delayed post-anoxic leukoencephalopathy〔 *Delayed post-anoxic encephalopathy〔 *Delayed post-hypoxic encephalopathy〔 *Delayed neurologic sequelae〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grinker myelinopathy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
