It is not without interest to note that there is evidencethat this albuminous exudate does undergo fatty degeneration,for in Marchi preparations, besides the usual foam-like exudatein the lymph spaces, oval bodies with black borders are metwith, looking like partially deflated bladders. Although men-tioned specially here, where they occur in unusual numbers, theycan also be seen in the lymph spaces of the cerebral cortex andof the spinal cord. It should be noted that the large cells of the hypoglossalnucleus are not wont to show the axonal appearance, which isso common amongst the Betz cells. They are usually shrunken,lie in dilated spaces, and although denser than normal, showa stichochrome structure. The cells of both the cuneate andgraci
