Forensic Pathology Blog

This blog will discuss anything related to the practice of forensic pathology. Topics will including recent articles in the medical literature, interesting cases in the news, TV forensics, and the general day to day things I have to deal with as a forensic pathologist. If there is something you want to know or have an idea for a topic, drop me a line. I am going to try and spend some time on histopathology with the hope of getting fellows ready for the boards!

Interesting Case Report About Retinal Hemorrhages

Othon Mena, Ian Paul and Ross Reichard have just published a very interesting case report in the latest American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology titled Ocular Findings in Raised Intracranial Pressure (Am J Forensic Med Pathol. 2011;32(1): 55-56.) They report the presence of retinal hemorrhages following the rupture of an intracerebral aneurysm.

Here is a link to the abstract: http://journals.lww.com/amjforensicmedicine/Abstract/2011/03000/

For more on the topic, see my blog on the Cambridge University Press website:

Or read my blog on this site from Dec 19 (which is pretty much the same blog as the Cambridge blog.)

Always keep an open mind!

Thank you for the article.... I heart about it.. that whenever intracerebral pressure increased(ICH, brain tumor...so on), there may be retinal hemorrhage. Of course I do not yet check it up, (and I'll do it), is this article also about that?
