Aortic Intramural Hematoma in Ventricular Hypertrophy and Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Report and Review
No full textObjective: the objective of this article is to describe the possible causative agents of Aortic IntraMural Hematoma (IMH)
Design: we have selected an autoptic report of cardiac death that showed a significant IMH.
Case: a 45-year-old man with hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and coronary artery disease.
Results: coronary artery disease may have played a significant role because in the ascending aorta vasa originate from coronaries;
the left ventricular hypertrophy suggests that the systolic pressure stress of aorta may have caused an internal compression
action; the resuscitation operations may have determinate a traumatic external pression on ascending aorta.
Conclusion: it's no possible exclude the different pathogenic mechanisms of IMH with autoptic findings.Objective: the objective of this article is to describe the possible causative agents of Aortic IntraMural Hematoma (IMH)

Foreign bodies ingestion: what responsibility?
No full textThe ingestion of foreign bodies is one of the most important and difficult emergencies for a
physician to diagnose.
Accidental ingestion is more common in children, in patients with dental implants, in individuals with
mental disability and in drug users. Voluntary ingestion is found in patients who are psychologically
unstable, in prisoners or those who attempt suicide. Foreign bodies may be divided into food as fish
bones, chicken bones, food bolus, meat, etc. or real foreign bodies such as orthodontic implants,
needles, pins, glass, coins, etc.
The authors present a case of management, from the medicolegal point of view, of a female patient age
80, who complained, for some weeks of modest pain in the left iliac fossa, and afterwards the
endoscopy showed a toothpick into the wall of the sigmoid colon. Assessed of the clinical status of the
patient presented severe cardiac comorbidities so that before processing the patient to a second
resolutive endoscopy, it was necessary to obtain the hemodynamic stability.
However the management of cases of accidental ingestion of foreign bodies is particularly difficult.
Medical errors can arise from the very first contact with the patient resulting in delays in appropriate
treatment. The doctor to avoid compromising its position on medical liability, must use all the
knowledge and diligence known by the art and science of medicine

Coronary artery disease in thrombotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta
No full textEven if the rupture is the most common cause of death of patients
with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) and the risk increases with
the presence and the size of IntraLuminal Thrombosis (ILT), there are
cases in which death occurs for other causes. The Authors present an
autoptic report of considerable size AAA with ILT in a patient who died
by heart failure due to CAD thrombotic and ischemic heart disease.
A protective role of approved in the literature and the role of products
resulting from the thrombotic formation could explain the death event

Perinatal Testicular Torsion and medicolegal considerations
No full textPerinatal testicular torsion (PTT) is a very complex condition because of rarity of presentation and diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.
In presence of perinatal testicular torsion, the involvement of contralateral testis can be present also in absence of other indications which suggest the bilateral involvement; therefore, occurrences supported by literature do not exclude the use of surgery to avoid the risk of omitted or delayed diagnosis.
The data on possible recovery of these testicles are not satisfactory, and treatment consists of an observational approach ("wait-and-see") or an interventional approach. The hypothesis of randomized clinical trials seems impracticable because of rarity of disease.
The authors present a case of PTT, analyzing injuries due to clinical and surgical management of these patients, according to medicolegal profile.
The delayed diagnosis and the choice of an incorrect therapeutic approach can compromise the position of healthcare professionals, defective in terms of skill, prudence and diligence. Endocrine insufficiency is an unfortunate event.
The analysis of literature seems to support, because of high risk, a surgical approach aimed not only at resolution of unilateral pathology or prevention of a relapse, but also at prevention of contralateral testicular torsion
The portal hypertensive gastropathy: a case and review of literature
No full textUpper gastrointestinal bleeding is a cause of high risk for morbidity and mortality. It has been debated in alcoholic cirrhosis, if alcohol exerts an exclusive and causal role upon gastropathy or whether it is linked to cirrhotic portal hypertension. The authors describe an autopsy report regarding mortality caused by gastric bleeding in a 53-year-old patient who suffered from cirrhosis. Literature has evidence of direct, marked damage of alcohol upon the gastric mucosa and there is noteworthy statistical data implying the revaluation of the pathogenesis of the bleeding
