  1. This must be cerebellar tissue from herniation through the foramen magnum.

  2. Let me try this again! Excellent answer!

    This is brain death. Pieces of necrotic cerebellum drop down and surround the cervical spinal cord. The arrows point to fragments of granule cell layer and the arrow heads point to Purkinje cells. Don't call this inflammation!
