Abstract:
A male in his late 50s had been complaining of headaches and dizziness for 25 years. He also had episodes of losing consciousness, but had not sought treatment because of financial hardship. He was found in the ocean. Autopsy revealed foamy liquid leaking from his nose and mouth, and pleural effusions. The trachea and bronchi contained the same foamy liquid. The lungs were swollen and edematous, and leaked a large amount of foamy liquid. His cause of death was diagnosed as drowning. In the brain, the veins on the frontal lobe and the temporal pole, each on the right cerebral hemisphere, were dilated. A vascular lesion measuring 5 × 5 × 8 cm was found on the bottom of the right frontal lobe, and was located between the right middle cerebral artery and those veins. This vascular lesion extended to the brain parenchyma, and the basal ganglia of the right cerebrum was displaced outward and upward. The vascular lesions in the brain showed blood vessels of various sizes and shapes, and some of the vessel walls were thickened. The vascular lesion on the right frontal lobe was diagnosed as an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). According to the police investigation, the harbor where his body was found was a place he often came for fishing and walking. The possibility of suicide cannot be ruled out. Moreover, it was considered that his AVM might have rendered him unconscious, causing him to fall into the ocean.
