BRAIN - Sagittal sinus thrombosis and cerebral infarction

Description
There are two coronal sections of brain showing massive right-sided infarction and lesser infarction on the left. The pia is haemorrhagic and, in the top specimen, thrombosis of a vein and its tributaries can be seen. The sagittal vein itself is not shown in the specimen. The corpus callosum is disrupted but this is probably artifact.
