Spanish term

pérdida de masa encefálica

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Es uno de los hallazgos de una autopsia de una persona accidentada. No puedo encontrar la expresión correcta en inglés, porque si bien aparece "loss of encephalic mass" en Google, parecen ser todas traducciones de artículos originalmente en español.
Gracias por su ayuda!

loss of brain matter

Telepro's answer was correct, but not the example. Loss of brain matter is always a very serious injury and is a criterion for witholding care in emergency situations:

II. WITHHOLDING RESUSCITATION:
A. An EMT/MICP may withhold resuscitation efforts when the patient has injuries/illness incompatible with life. This includes cardiac arrest accompanied by:
1. Blunt trauma.
2. Incineration.
3. Decapitation.
4. Open head injury with loss of brain matter.
5. Detruncation.
6. Rigor mortis.
7. Post mortem lividity.
