Clinical, anatomical and histological diagnosis
Histological diagnosis: Haemorrhagia subarachnoidealis. Atrophia cerebri. Arteriosclerosis cerebri.Autopsy examination of 59-year-old patient was performed. Neuropathological evaluation in light microscopy was based on brain frozen sections stained with Bielschowsky method.Fresh blood was present in the subarachnoid space and ventricular system. In the cortex of the frontal, temporal, and insular lobes, large cellular vacuolations were evident, leading in sections to complete obliteration of the layered structure. Preserved cells showed features of chronic, ischemic, severe disease; some were steatotic. Blood was found in the globus pallidus around some vessels. The vessels were fibrously altered. Besides, features of congestion, glial activation and proliferation were observed. Single Alzheimer's fibers were visualized in Bielschowsky staining. No senile plaques were found.
