1. In the cases of long‐term (over 10‐12 hours) artificial respiration, status bullosus of the cerebellar granule cell layer and faint staining of the nerve cells appear hand in hand. The latter change occurs predominantly in the brain stem (in the wider sense) and the cerebellar nuclei, and differs from the typical ischemic (hypoxic) brain change, not only in its distribution but also in its cellular degenerative pattern. 2. Status bullosus became to be more frequently encountered in cases of meningioma, leukemia, and uremia as compared to previous years, and it appears mostly hand in hand with faint staining of the nerve cells. 3. As the prerequisite of development of these changes, one must consider not only circulatory disturbance, but also metabolic disorders.
