Description

This striking image of the brain, viewed from above with the skull partially removed, shows the clear contrast between healthy cerebral tissue and severe cerebral contusions. The contused area appears swollen, darkened, and bloodied, indicating hemorrhage and tissue damage following traumatic brain injury. These contusions often result from blunt force trauma, leading to localized bleeding, inflammation, and increased intracranial pressure. The image is a powerful visual representation of the anatomical impact of head trauma and is valuable for teaching about the consequences of closed-head injuries, neurosurgical assessment, and emergency neurological care.
