Coronal section shows the cerebral hemispheres through the anterior portion of third ventricle, anterior commissure, and the tip of the temporal lobes. This section is not quite symmetrical because it shows more of the anterior portion on the left side. The brain shows a recent area of necrosis in the right anterior cerebral artery distribution near the midline, with fragmentation of the tissue and poorly demarcated cortex and white matter. Corpus callosum is very thin and there is also an old slit-like lesion in the distribution of the left anterior cerebral artery. Diagnosis: Recent infarction in right anterior cerebral artery distribution, and old infarct, left anterior cerebral artery.
