Bochdalek hernia evaluated as sudden unexpected suspicious death: A case report

Ani beklenmedik şüpheli ölümler adli olguların önemli bir bölümünü oluşturmaktadır. Bu olgularda ölümün kısa sürede meydana gelmesi, ölüm mekanizmasının ve nedeninin izah edilememesi, ölüm üzerine etkisi olan kişi ve/veya kişilerin ya da her hangi bir dış etmenin olabileceği şüphesi nedeniyle adli otopsi yapılması gerekmektedir. Çalışmamızda Bochdalek hernisine bağlı ani beklenmedik bir ölüm olgusu sunulmaktadır.

Ani beklenmedik şüpheli ölüm olarak değerlendirilen Bochdalek hernisi: Bir olgu sunumu

A considerable part of forensic medicine cases involve sudden unexpected suspicious deaths. In such cases, it is essential to perform a medico-legal autopsy, for the following reasons: death occurs within a very short time, it is difficult to explain the cause and the mechanism of death; external factors or a person, might be involved in the death. Sudden unexpected deaths due to adult Bochdalek hernia had been reported rarely in the medical literature. In this study a sudden unexpected death case due to adult Bochdalek hernia was presented.
