Core Tip |
The most frequent causes of pulmonary aspiration were caused by milk (31.8%). Predisposing factors include any condition that alters the state of consciousness or creates dysfunction of deglutition. In general, Gastric contents is related to aspiration pneumonia and present in the lungs of 30% to 40% of infants whose deaths are attributed to sudden infant death. The postmortem diagnosis of milk aspiration is a challenge for clinician and pathologist. In case of sudden unexpected infant death from milk aspiration a broad diagnostic approach is necessary for an identification of the cause of death. Postmortem Computed Tomography is a very valuable aid in cases of forensic interest, as it can provide useful information in all those situations in which the cause of death is uncertain or there are no suggestive dynamics or lesions. |
