Physiopathology of barochemoreception is hindered by the scarce information on its morphology in disease. The baroreflex is of major importance for the maintenance of arterial pressure during orthostatic stress. The purpose of this paper was to characterize the morphological alterations of carotid glomus in old patients who died from stroke and suffering obstructive carotid atheromatosis. METHODS: Bilateral carotid segments were obtained at autopsy from 17 patients (51-89 years old). Specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin; Azan trichrome, Grimelius silver stain for catecholamine detection, and were immunophenotyped for CD34 and S-100. Similar segments of both carotid arteries of six patients (62-77 years old) who died by accident...
