"Cortical laminar or pseudolaminar necrosis is more common in patients with events that impair the brain's ability to provide sufficient nutrients for its required function. This can be due to either reduced supply (e.g. hypoxia, ischaemia, and sometimes hypoglycaemia) or increased demand (e.g. status epilepticus) 11."
"The term cortical laminar necrosis is often used to describe areas of cortical T1 intrinsic hyperintensity or cortical dystrophic calcification in the weeks, months, or years following a run-of-the-mill thromboembolic "full-thickness" cerebral infarct; this is incorrect and makes the term meaningless 13."
