Which of the following necrosis occurs characteristically in brain infarcts?
CNS parenchymal infarcts organize an influx of macrophages into the area of necrosis. The macrophages ingest the lipid-rich, necrotic parenchyma, ultimately conveing the area to a fluid-filled cavity (liquefactive necrosis). This process is usually complete by about 6 months after the development of the infarct.
Caseous necrosis
Fibrinoid necrosis
