Abstract

Objective: In this study, revealing the regio- nal characteristics of the cardiac conduction system pathologies in sudden death cases is aimed. Besides, this is the first study of Adana region forensic cases re- lated to the cardiac conduction system pathologies. Methods: Twenty seven cases of sudden unexpected death and 4 cases with known causes of death as a control group have been included in the study. Samples from sino- atrial node and atrioventicular node were taken in total 31 cases. Samples were evaluated with light microscope after staining through histochemical staining methods. Results: There were significant pathological changes of the sinoatrial node and atrioventricular node in 10 of the cases. And in 3 of all cases (11.1%), the abnormalities of the conduction system were considered to have the possibility for causing death. Conclusion: We have concluded that it is of importance to evaluate the cardiac conduction system in sudden unexpected death cases and this topic should be kept in sight in forensic pathology.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, ani kardiyak ölüm vakalarında kardiyak ileti sistemi patolojilerinin bölgesel özelliklerinin ortaya konması amaçlandı. Ayrıca bu çalışma, kardiyak ileti sistemi patolojileri konusunda Adana bölgesindeki adli olgularda yapılan ilk çalış- madır. Yöntemler: Yirmi yedi ani-beklenmedik ölüm olgusu ile ölüm nede- ni bilinen 4 olgu kontrol grubu olarak çalışmaya alındı. Toplam 31 olguda, sinoatrial nod ve at- rioventriküler nod bölgelerinden örnekler alındı. Örnekler histo- kimyasal boyama yöntemleri ile boyanarak ışık mikroskobunda incelendi. Bulgular: Ani-beklenmedik ölüm olgula- rının 10unda sinoatrial nod ve atrioventriküler nodda belirgin patolojik bulgular saptandı. Tüm olguların 3ünde (%11,1), ileti sistemi anomalilerinin ölüme neden olabileceği düşünüldü. Sonuç: Ani beklenmedik ölüm olgula- rında kardiyak ileti sistemi de- ğerlendirmesinin önemli olduğu ve adli patolojide bu konunun göz önünde bulundurulması ge- rektiği sonucuna vardık.
