Cortical pseudolaminar necrosis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cortical pseudolaminar necrosis, also known as cortical laminar necrosis and simply laminar necrosis, is the (uncontrolled) death of cells in the (cerebral) cortex of the brain in a band-like pattern,[1] with a relative preservation of cells immediately adjacent to the meninges.
It is seen in the context of cerebral hypoxic-ischemic insults, i.e. strokes.
