The ventricular expansion has resulted in the subcortical loss of much of the white matter of the left cerebral hemisphere. Although the left internal capsule can be seen, it is pale compared to a normal internal capsule. The superior portion of the left hemisphere (arrow) is pale and suggests neuron loss and astrocytosis; however, microscopic examination (see 30C10A,B) fails to show loss of cortical neurons.
