3D Printed Left Cerebral Infarct
Clinical History
The patient was a 51-year old woman who had a cerebro-vascular accident resulting in a left
hemiplegia 2 years prior to death. At necropsy, she had severe generalized atherosclerosis and an old left
ventricular myocardial infarct with an overlying mural thrombus.
Pathology
A coronal section of the cerebral hemispheres shows irregular cystic cavities in the territory of
distribution of the right middle cerebral artery. The cavities of the infarct have irregular, yellow walls and
show partial collapse. There is compensatory dilatation of the left lateral ventricle. On the posterior aspect,
the arteries below the mammillary bodies were moderately atheromatous, although this is difficult to visualise
macroscopically.
Further Information
Because of the underlying history of myocardial disease with the presence of the mural
thrombus, it is assumed that her cerebral infarct was probably caused by a thromboembolus.

The models are very detailed and delicate. With normal production machines you cannot realize such details like shown in these models.
The printer used is a color-plastic printer. This is the most suitable printer for these models.
The plastic material is already the best and most suitable material for these prints. (The other option would be a kind of gypsum, but this is way more fragile. You even cannot get them out of the printer without breaking them).The huge advantage of the prints is that they are very realistic as the data is coming from real human specimen. Nothing is shaped or stylized.
The users have to handle these prints with utmost care. They are not made for touching or bending any thin nerves, arteries, vessels etc. The 3D printed models should sit on a table and just rotated at the table.
