摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to forensic medicine. To diagnose cause of death from mechanical asphyxia sectional examination of brain is carried out. Macroscopic and microscopic changes of hypophysis are detected. If constellation of such diagnostic signs as: plethora and dilatation of cavernous sinus; plethora and visually detectable hemorrhages into hypophysis capsule and its pedicle and presence of microfocal hemorrhages; plethora of microhemocirculation vessels of hypophysis lobe; small hemorrhages in neurohypophysis are present, death resulting from mechanical asphyxia is diagnosed.;EFFECT: method makes it possible to diagnose cause of death from mechanical asphyxia.;1 tbl, 2 ex
