→Autopsy Findings
== Clinical Summary ==
This 67-year-old female was transferred to the hospital from a nursing home in a comatose state. Physical findings on examination were compatible with brain stem infarction. On the fourth hospital day, an electrocardiogram revealed changes compatible with anterior myocardial infarction. The patient remained comatose with quadriplegia and expired on the 16th hospital day.
