•A horizontal section of the brain at the level of the
upper third ventricle showing a recent infarct in the
middle cerebral artery distribution, manifested by
discoloration and disintegration (cracking) of the tissue
of part of one hemisphere.
•Note the marked swelling of the affected hemisphere with
herniation of structures across the midline.
•Pale infarcts such as this are usually due to thrombi.
