Forensic Pathology of Trauma provides practical advice to
pathologists about the conduct and analysis of the forensic autopsy
in a case of trauma. This volume reinforces the systematic manner
in which the forensic pathologist must approach all medicolegal
trauma death investigations in order to avoid common mistakes that
may confuse accurate interpretation of a case or compromise a
medicolegal investigation. The authors present a step-wise approach
to the entire forensic investigation, from the collation of
information about the death scene and the background of the
deceased, to the external and internal examination of the body,
concluding with tests on the evidentiary material collected
postmortem. A value-added CD presents color images of the
investigative figures in the text.
The introductory chapter covers risk management in the autopsy and
is followed by a focused examination of postmortem changes, the
"great pretenders" in forensic pathology, and the ways in which
they can mimic or obscure trauma. Each of the subsequent eight
chapters addresses common medicolegal "syndromes" or trauma
patterns, providing comprehensive coverage of both common and
uncommon causes of each of these patterns. Trauma patterns
addressed include those associated with asphyxia, thermal injury,
bodies recovered from water, penetrating trauma, blunt trauma,
craniocerebral trauma, vertebrospinal trauma, and sudden
neurological death.
