Abstract

BACKGROUND In this study, we discuss traumatic lesions as assessed in decomposed bodies. METHODS From 1390 autopsies, which were performed by Adnan Menderes University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Forensic Medicine staff during the period 2004-2008, reports of 62 decomposed bodies were searched, and traumatic lesions were found in 19 of them. Features like gender, living conditions, crime scene, identity witness, season, postmortem interval, cause and origin of deaths, and existence of traumatic lesions were investigated. RESULTS From the 1390 forensic autopsies, 4.5% were decomposed bodies. Male cases accounted for 91.9%, and the male/female ratio was 11.4/1. From reports, 38.7% lived alone, and the crime scene was the home in 57.9%. Traumatic lesions were found in 30.6%. The leading causes of death were cardiac diseases in natural deaths, hanging in suicide cases, stab wounds in homicide cases, and carbon monoxide poisoning in accidents. It was statistically significant that traumatic lesions were common in outdoor cases and indoor bodies were common among single cases. CONCLUSION As it is necessary to distinguish traumatic lesions carefully in decomposed bodies, a full examination and autopsy should be performed.

Özet

AMAÇ Bu çalışmada, bozulmuş cesetlerdeki travmatik lezyonların irdelenmesi amaçlandı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM 2004-2008 yılları arasında Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Adli Tıp Anabilim Dalı çalışanları tarafından yapılan toplam 1390 otopsinin kayıtlarından, 62 adet bozulmuş cesede ait rapor incelendi, bunlardan 19 tanesinde travmatik lezyonlar saptandı. Raporlarda bulunan cinsiyet, yaşam şekli, olay yeri, medeni durum, kimlik tanığı, mevsim, postmortem interval, ölüm nedeni ve orijin, travmatik lezyonların varlığı gibi özellikler araştırıldı. BULGULAR Toplam 1390 adli otopsinin %4,5’i bozulmuş ceset idi. Bunların da %91,9’u erkek, %8,1’i kadın ve E/K oranı 11.4/1 idi. Olguların %38,7’si yalnız yaşamakta olup, olay yeri %59,7’inde evdi, %30,6’sının vücudunda travmatik lezyon saptandı. İlk sırayı doğal ölümlerde kalp hastalıkları, intihar orijinli ölümlerde ası, cinayet orijinli ölümlerde kesici delici alet, kaza sonucunda meydana gelen ölümlerde karbonmonoksit zehirlenmesi almaktaydı. Bekar olanların ev içinde cesetlerinin bulunması ve cesetleri ev dışında bulunanlarda travmatik bulguların olması istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi. SONUÇ Bozulmuş cesetlerde travmatik lezyonların ayrımının özenli bir şekilde yapılması gerektiğinden tam inceleme ve otopsi yapılması uygun olacaktır.
