Subdural hematoma due to rupture of bridging veins crossing the subdural space Epidural hematoma due to rupture of bridging veins crossing the subdural space Subdural hematoma due to rupture of middle meningeal artery Epidural hematoma, due to rupture of middle meningeal artery

A 26-year-old male was returning from a neighborhood store with a six-pack of beer. He attempted to run across a busy street but was struck by a car. He was fully conscious at the scene, complaining of pain in his abdomen and left leg. Examination by paramedics revealed an open fracture of the left tibia with moderate bleeding, left upper quadrant pain with rebound tenderness, and a fast, weak pulse. The leg was immobilized, oxygen was administered, an IV started, and he was transported to the Trauma Center, approximately 10 minutes away. About 3 minutes before arriving at the Trauma Center, he suffered cardiopulmonary arrest from which he could not be resuscitated, despite vigorous advanced life support. At autopsy, his stomach was found to be full of beer, along with 4 whole wieners (without any teeth marks!). His spleen, which is normally about the size of the patient’s fist, was grossly enlarged: it measured from just under the diaphragm to the level of the umbilicus, and from the…

A 75-year-old man was found unconscious in his bathroom after fallingand hitting his head. He survived for several hours but died later in thehospital. An autopsy was performed to determine the exact cause ofdeath. Evidence indicated that the man had suffered two strokes, bothdue to blocked blood vessels. One had occurred a few weeks earlier;the other had occurred very recently and may have led to the fall.Autopsy findings also indicated that, when the man hit his head, somedamage to his brain occurred as well. Based on what you know aboutinflammation and the cellular structure of the brain, describe what thepathologist found in each of the damaged areas of the brain.
