In the course of a scuffle, a youth of 18 years was struck a single blow across the chest with a golf club. He collapsed dead on the spot. At autopsy, a precisely located and highly distinctive patterned imprint abrasion of the precordial region was revealed providing an excellent match with the weapon. The heart showed multiple internal ruptures and there was a laceration of the lingula of the left lung. Injury to the chest wall was confined to the soft tissues, the rib cage and sternum being intact. We postulate a novel mechanism to explain the cardiac rupture.
在一场混战中,一名18岁的青年被人用高尔夫球杆猛击胸部一下。他当场倒地身亡。尸检时,发现心前区有一处位置精准且极具特征性的图案状压擦伤,与凶器完美匹配。心脏显示有多处内部破裂,左肺舌叶有一处裂伤。胸壁损伤仅限于软组织,肋骨和胸骨完好无损。我们提出一种新机制来解释心脏破裂。
