| Popis: | Post-mortem study of the brain is extremely relevant to medico-legal autopsies. However, it can be difficult to handle due to its fragility. This article presents a study on the development of an arterial solidifying technique that can be applied to analyze arterial circulation, consequently easing the handling and later diagnosis of diseases in this anatomical site. Vinylpolysiloxane silicone is introduced into the internal carotid arteries until it completely fills the arterial tree, creating a detailed model of the arterial’s internal anatomy. This technique is fast, easy to apply and requires no previous tissue fixation. In addition, it allows for further toxicological and pathological tests. In conclusion, this technique represents a simple, sensitive and efficient method to employ in conventional autopsies, which can help in the diagnosis of death. |
