The purpose of this study is to observe the macro, micro and ultrastructural changes of the pituitary, adrenal, pancreas and spleen in the experimental primary brain death.

Pituitary karyopyknosis and cytolysis developed. 5. there was correlation between the extent of lesions and time after brain death.
