Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm--unusual complication of an electric shock.

Abstract:

:Here we report about a 35-year-old electrical engineer who was found dead in his study. Postmortem examination revealed that death resulted because of subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage caused by the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. Right hand and left cheek revealed electrical marks with metallizations on skin, an electric shock was diagnosed to have preceded death. The close temporal correlation suggests that a sudden rise in blood pressure was caused by the electric current and was thus responsible for the rupture of the aneurysm.

  • Indicators for acute hypoxia--an immunohistochemical investigation in cerebellar Purkinje-cells.

    abstract::The Purkinje-cells (PCs) of the cerebellum are highly vulnerable to hypoxic/ischemic insult. Calbindin-D28k is a calcium-binding protein that is strongly expressed in PCs.
