초록
A 44-year-old man was cutting an outer plate of a ship, at a depth of 25 m belowsea level. Following a sudden explosion, he was discovered unconscious and wascarried to the surface by other divers. There was no evidence of vital signs uponarrival at the hospital. Postmortem computed tomography, which was performed priorto autopsy, revealed massive pneumocephalus in the brain, pneumohemothorax, diffuselung contusions with multiple traumatic lung cysts, air-fluid level in the cardiacchamber of the chest, and pneumoperitoneum in the abdomen. Postmortem externalexamination showed a circular abrasion on the jaw, diffuse subcutaneous emphysema,and contusion in the right upper arm. An internal examination revealed intravascularair bubbles in all four chambers of the heart, and diffuse pulmonary traumaincluding contusion, laceration, and multiple traumatic cysts. Blast injury to the chest,and air embolism due to the underwater explosion were established as the underlyingcause of death.
Abstract
A 44-year-old man was cutting an outer plate of a ship, at a depth of 25 m belowsea level. Following a sudden explosion, he was discovered unconscious and wascarried to the surface by other divers. There was no evidence of vital signs uponarrival at the hospital. Postmortem computed tomography, which was performed priorto autopsy, revealed massive pneumocephalus in the brain, pneumohemothorax, diffuselung contusions with multiple traumatic lung cysts, air-fluid level in the cardiacchamber of the chest, and pneumoperitoneum in the abdomen. Postmortem externalexamination showed a circular abrasion on the jaw, diffuse subcutaneous emphysema,and contusion in the right upper arm.
