The investigation of sudden or unexplained death of children
represents a unique medical and forensic area of study. Children
have unique anatomic and functional characteristics that must be
recognized and understood by the medical investigator. Further
complicating this process is the fact that the anatomic structure,
composition and function of various organs and organ systems in the
pediatric population change throughout the developmental stages of
childhood. The disease processes, reactions to trauma and risk
factors for accidental death and homicide change from infancy
through adolescence.
"Forensic Pathology of Infancy and Childhood" provides an
authoritative, comprehensive reference text devoted to the
medicolegal investigation of sudden unexpected death in children.
With contributions from internationally renowned experts,
individual chapters focus on specific unique causes and organ
systems with detailed accounts of the changes in fatal diseases,
risk factors of causes of sudden death, and responses to fatal
trauma that occur as a child grows from neonatal stage through
infancy, toddlerhood, childhood and adolescence.
This text is an essential reference resource for forensic
pathologists, medical examiner offices, pediatric pathologists,
pediatric hospitals, anatomic pathologists and those in training as
well as those in related legal professions."
