Abstract
|
|
|
|
Gastromalacia is a postmortem dissolution due to autodigestion of the gastric wall. It usually occurs in the area of the gastric fundus and may lead to gastric perforation. This rupture may also lead to pneumoperitoneum or pneumothorax. Such postmortem changes were stated by radiologists as gastro-intestinal perforation caused by antemortem pathology, including inflicted trauma. It also can confuse pathologists with insufficient forensic experience and even lead to a miscarriage of justice. In this report, we will introduce a case of full-blown gastromalacia with its typical autopsy findings.
