  2. Liquefactive necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefactive_necrosis

    Liquefactive necrosis (or colliquative necrosis) is a type of necrosis which results in a transformation of the tissue into a liquid viscous mass. [1] Often it is associated with focal bacterial or fungal infections, and can also manifest as one of the symptoms of an internal chemical burn . [ 2 ]

  3. Acute necrotizing encephalopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_necrotizing...

    Approximately one-third of individuals with acute necrotizing encephalopathy type 1 do not survive their illness and subsequent neurological decline. Of those who do survive, about half have permanent brain damage due to tissue necrosis, resulting in impairments in walking, speech, and other basic functions, there may also be permanent brain ...

  4. Encephalomalacia - Wikipedia

    Yellow softening is the third type of cerebral softening. As its name implies, the affected softened areas of the brain have a yellow appearance. This yellow appearance is due to atherosclerotic plaque build-up in interior brain arteries coupled with yellow lymph around the choroid plexus, which occurs in specific instances of brain trauma. [2]

    Both dry gangrene and gas gangrene can lead to this type of necrosis. If superimposed infection of dead tissues occurs, then liquefactive necrosis ensues (wet gangrene). [9] Caseous necrosis can be considered a combination of coagulative and liquefactive necrosis, [6] typically caused by mycobacteria (e.g. tuberculosis), fungi and some foreign ...

  6. Periventricular leukomalacia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periventricular_leukomalacia

    Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a form of white-matter brain injury, characterized by the necrosis (more often coagulation) of white matter near the lateral ventricles. [1] [2] It can affect newborns and (less commonly) fetuses; premature infants are at the greatest risk of neonatal encephalopathy which may lead to this condition.

  7. Coagulative necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulative_necrosis

    Coagulative necrosis is most commonly caused by conditions that do not involve severe trauma, toxins or an acute or chronic immune response.The lack of oxygen (hypoxia) causes cell death in a localized area which is perfused by blood vessels failing to deliver primarily oxygen, but also other important nutrients.

  8. Karyolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyolysis

    The aftermath of necrosis varies depending on the tissue. For instance: In the brain, necrosis often leads to liquefactive necrosis, where tissue becomes soft and liquid-like. Coagulative necrosis occurs in the heart or kidneys, leaving behind a "ghost" framework of the affected cells.

  9. Cerebral infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_infarction

    Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [2]
