Abstract

The purpose of this case report is to discuss a case of a 72-year-old woman with chylopericardium determined at forensic autopsy, together with the medicolegal dimensions and a brief review of the literature. She presented to a hospital with gastrointestinal symp-toms five days after an assault resulting in injury that could have been resolved with a simple medical intervention. Following surgi-cal treatment of incisional hernia and perforated colonic diverticu-litis, the patient’s hemodynamics were stable, and monitoring and treatment were maintained. However, the patient died on the second day of hospitalization. Autopsy revealed that the pericardium was tense and that the cavity was filled with white, chylous fluid. A sur-gically sutured wound, areas of ecchymosis, membrane and point hemorrhage and adhesive areas were observed in the abdomen. No significant macroscopic findings of peritonitis were observed. Histopathological examination revealed edema in the lungs, expan-sion of the myocyte cytoplasm in the heart, intensive neutrophil and leukocyte infiltration in the serosal surface in the small and large bowels, and nonspecific findings in addition to the suture material. No toxic substance was determined at chemical analyses. Biochem-ical analysis of fluid from the pericardial cavity revealed levels of 461 mg/dL triglyceride and 114 mg/dL cholesterol. Cause of death was reported as ‘‘incisional hernia, diverticular perforation, ileus and ensuing complications’’. No causal relation was established between the chylopericardium identified at autopsy and the assault occurring while the patient was alive. It was concluded that the chy-lopericardium developed secondary to surgical treatment.

Özet

Bu sunumda adli otopside şiloperikardiyum saptanan 72 ya-şındaki kadın olguyu medikolegal boyutuyla sunarak tartışmayı ve kısa literatür incelemesi yapmayı amaçladık. Basit bir tıbbi müdahale ile giderilebilecek nitelikte yaralanmaya maruz kaldı-ğı darp olayından 5 gün sonra gastrointestinal sistem şikayetleri nedeniyle bir hastaneye başvurmuştur. İnsizyonel herni ve kolon divertikül perforasyonu cerrahi tedavisi sonrası hemodinamisi stabil olarak klinikte takip ve tedavileri devam ederken, hastane-ye yatışının ikinci gününde ölmüştür. Otopsisinde iç muayenede, perikardın gergin ve boşluğunun beyaz renkli şilöz sıvı ile dolu olduğu görüldü. Batında cerrahi sütüre yara, ekimoz, membran ve noktasal kanama alanları ile adhesiv alanlar izlendi. Makros-kobik olarak yoğun peritonit bulgusu izlenmedi. Histopatolojik incelemede; akciğerlerde ödem, kalpte myosit sitoplazmalarında genişleme, ince ve kalın bağırsaklarda serozal yüzde yoğun nötro-fil lökosit infiltrasyonu, sütür materyali yanısıra nonspesifik bul-gular saptandı. Kimyasal analizlerde herhangi bir toksik madde saptanmadı. Perikard boşluğundan alınan sıvının biyokimyasal analizinde; 461 mg/dL trigliserid ve 114 mg/dL kolesterol saptan-dı. Kişinin ölüm nedeni ‘‘insizyonel herni, divertikül perforasyo-nu, ileus ve gelişen komplikasyonlar sonucu’’ olarak raporlandı. Otopside saptanan şiloperikardiyum ile kişinin hayatta iken maruz kalmış olduğu darp arasında nedensellik bağı kurulamadı. Şilope-rikardiyumun kişinin geçirmiş olduğu cerrahi tedaviye sekonder geliştiği kanaatine varıldı.
