Autopsy Neuropathology
Overview
Our specialists offer comprehensive neuropathological examination of adult and pediatric brain and spinal cord from autopsy specimens. We work closely with our colleagues in the clinical neuroscience community at UCSF and our expertise covers a wide range of brain disorders, including neurodevelopmental disorders, dysmyelinating and demyelinating disorders, inflammatory and infectious disease, neuro-oncology, metabolic encephalopathies, cerebrovascular disease, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and neurodegenerative disease.
A final report with the findings is sent to the referring physician and the legal next-of-kin may request a copy from UCSF Medical Records (415-353-2221).
