Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Sudden death as a term is used to describe deaths occurring in an apparently healthy individual within 24 hours with or without symptoms. A medicolegal investigation is crucial to identify such deaths and exclude unnatural causes. We report an autopsy case of a 22-year-old female who was previously healthy and had complained of headache a few days back which was diagnosed as migraine and accordingly treated. But after 4 days she complained of severe headache and died unexpectedly. An autopsy was performed, which showed that the extensive bleeding into the substance of the anterior and middle portion of the Left intracerebral region. A post mortem examination, (CT) computed tomography studies of the brain, Histological studies, and anatomical dissection were performed to locate the cause of sudden death. They revealed changes due to malignant hypertension which was undiagnosed
