Excerpt

We have recently read the article “Is cerebral swelling following cranio-cerebral trauma instantaneous? An insight into the Byard and Vink proposition” by Kanchan et al. [1], regarding the rapidity of development of cerebral swelling in humans in cases of instantaneous death with brain evisceration due to sustained severe head blunt force injury. The mechanism proposed by Byard and Vink [2], for an almost immediate cerebral swelling in such cases, was reactive vasodilatation. Indeed, photos of such cases demonstrated obvious gyral flattening indicating cerebral swelling [1, 2]. Unfortunately, these findings were not demonstrated microscopically. …
