Abstract

Detailed research on the histopathological changes due to cerebral ischemia date from the work of Spielmeyer58 in the early part of this century. In 1920 he reported that, following cerebral ischemia, there is shrinkage of neurons, in which the cytoplasm becomes acidophilic and the nucleus basophilic and the Nissl bodies disappear. Spielmeyer called such changes “ischemic cell changes”.
