Abstract

A deceased man in his 50 s was found with his neck over a broken glass door frame, with blood around the body. A non-contrast postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) scan revealed subcutaneous hemorrhage, temporal bone fracture, and cerebral contusion. Also, wounds extending from the anterior to posterior neck and the presence of air in the cervical vessels suggested cervical vascular injury. A virtual angioscopy image reconstructed from PMCT angiography data revealed a ruptured left common carotid artery and allowed accurate measurement of the injury. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of postmortem virtual angioscopy for visualization and evaluation of vascular injuries, providing valuable insights for forensic investigation.

利用死后虚拟血管造影术观察玻璃造成的左侧颈总动脉损伤。

一名 50 多岁的男性死者被发现时，脖子架在破碎的玻璃门框上，身体周围有血迹。非对比死后计算机断层扫描（PMCT）显示皮下出血、颞骨骨折和脑挫伤。此外，伤口从颈部前方延伸至后方，颈部血管中存在空气，表明颈部血管受伤。根据 PMCT 血管造影数据重建的虚拟血管造影图像显示左侧颈总动脉破裂，并可对损伤进行精确测量。本病例展示了死后虚拟血管造影在观察和评估血管损伤方面的有效性，为法医调查提供了有价值的见解。
