The importance of the autopsy in neurodegenerative disease is often not appreciated. Brain autopsies has also significant importance in patients with traumatic brain injury. To remove the brain, an incision is made in the back of the skull from one ear to the other. The scalp is cut and separated from the underlying skull and pulled forward. The top of the skull is removed using a vibrating saw. The entire brain is then gently lifted out of the cranial vault. The spinal cord may also be taken by removing the anterior or posterior portion of the spinal column.
