Unique ID: D020520
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020520
Annotation: general or unspecified; prefer specifics
Scope Note: Tissue NECROSIS in any area of the brain, including the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES, the CEREBELLUM, and the BRAIN STEM. Brain infarction is the result of a cascade of events initiated by inadequate blood flow through the brain that is followed by HYPOXIA and HYPOGLYCEMIA in brain tissue. Damage may be temporary, permanent, selective or pan-necrosis.
