法医病理学家经常遇到突然自然死亡的病例。大多数突然的自然死亡归因于心脏原因。急性胰腺炎,尤其是出血性胰腺炎,是猝死的罕见但关键的贡献者。在这种情况下,法医病理学家的作用至关重要,以找出猝死的原因,并确认或驳斥任何指控。在这种情况下,我们描述了一个34岁男性因急性出血性胰腺炎突然死亡的病例,强调需要详细的尸检,病理生理学见解,和诊断挑战。
Forensic pathologists frequently encounter cases of sudden natural death. Most sudden natural deaths are attributed to cardiac causes. Acute pancreatitis, especially hemorrhagic pancreatitis, is an infrequent yet critical contributor to sudden death. The role of a forensic pathologist is imperative in such cases to find out the cause of the sudden death and to either confirm or refute any allegations. In this context, we describe a case of a 34-year-old male who experienced sudden death due to acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis, highlighting the need for a detailed autopsy, pathophysiological insights, and diagnostic challenges.
