[On the quality of the external post-mortem examination in cases of fatal head trauma : A comparison of death certificate and forensic autopsy].

CONCLUSION: Despite the fact that FHT should be a cause of death that is comparably easy to identify during external post-mortem examination, more than one third of the cases were not sufficiently recognized. Therefore, special attention must still be paid to certain case constellations during the external post-mortem examination. Typical examples of such cases are burned bodies, cases of advanced putrefaction and falls. PMID: 31784776 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
