Spongiosis of the frontal lobe cortex and the insula was seen. Diffuse gliosis of the white matter of the preserved cerebral hemisphere and cerebellum was found. Extensive fibrosis in arteries of all sizes was observed.Histological diagnosis: Focus encephalomalaciae inveteratae lobi frontalis et nucleorum basalium dextrorum.
