Postmortem Examination in Sudden Death: What Every Medical Officer Must Know
Sudden deaths are among the most challenging cases encountered during medicolegal postmortem examinations, particularly when the deceased had no obvious history of illness or injury. Identifying subtle pathological findings, distinguishing natural from unnatural causes, deciding which samples to preserve, and framing the final postmortem opinion can be difficult.
This masterclass will provide a practical and systematic approach to sudden death autopsy, covering important causes, key autopsy findings, ancillary investigations, sample preservation, common pitfalls and medicolegal considerations. Real-life case discussions will help Medical Officers approach sudden death cases with greater confidence.
