Usefulness of post mortem computed tomography versus conventional forensic autopsy of road accident victims (drivers and passengers)

Abstract: StreszczenieCel pracy: Problematyka zgonów osób z wnętrza samochodu w wyniku wypadków komunikacyjnych stanowi istotną grupę zagadnień w medycynie sądowej. Opiniowanie w tym zakresie obejmuje przede wszystkim określenie przyczyny zgonu oraz udział medyka sądowego w procesie rekonstrukcji przebiegu zdarzenia drogowego poprzez określenie mechanizmu powstania obrażeń ciała. Zakres opinii, jej dokładność i szczegółowość w dużym stopniu zależą od zakresu sądowo-lekarskiego badania pośmiertnego. W tym kontekście isto… Show more

“…Regardless of the autopsy technique used and the experience of the person conducting the autopsy, it is practically impossible to assess the accumulation of gas in certain parts of the bodyincluding, but not limited to, the skull. Accumulated gas can be reliably detected only via imaging studies [3,4]. For the above reasons, medico-legal opinions based solely on traditional autopsies disregard the possible presence of intracranial gas (ICG).…”

“…In these situations, a detailed description of the injuries and knowledge of the mechanisms that lead to them are essential. Thanks to the more and more widespread use of postmortem computed tomography (PMCT), it has become possible to diagnose injuries (especially bone injuries) which, until now, had been very easy to overlook during traditional autopsies [1][2][3][4][5][6]. One type of such injuries, which are very difficult-and in many cases, impossible-to detect during a traditional autopsy, are thoracic transverse process fractures (TTPFs).…”
