8. Pons, Acute Infarct - Gross
The patient had two lesions with this gross appearance of pinkish
discoloration, softening & fragmentation, typical of an acute
infarct. One was in the left lateral frontal lobe, and this one, in
the pons. Associated with this acute infarction of most of the basis
pontis, is a thrombus in the basilar artery. This may be the cause of
the infarct, but may also occur secondarily.
