Initial Evaluation of the Condition of the Brain

Condition Description
Intact In one piece
Fragmented Most fragments large enough to be able to determine their origin; they measure an average of 5 cm in their largest diameter
Liquefied When the specimen pours from the cranial cavity during removal
Other Neither intact nor liquefied; these were obtained by various dilatation and extraction methods; they are considered fragmented and after describing and weighing, best available fragments were sampled
