In 20 of 31 drowned persons we found 0.3 to 3.5 ml fluid in the maxillary and sphenoid sinus. In 18 cases the fluid could be recognised roentgenologically. In 9 cases blood and fluid in the paranasal sinus were free of ethanol. In 6 of 11 cases the concentration of ethanol in blood and fluid of the paranasal sinus corresponded very well, in the other cases the variation ranged from -51.8 to 147%. Ethanol in both blood and fluid of the paranasal sinus seems to confirm the diagnosis "drowning".
在31名溺水者中，有20名的上颌窦和蝶窦内发现有0.3至3.5毫升的液体。18例可通过X线检查识别出这些液体。9例鼻窦内的血液和液体中不含乙醇。11例中有6例血液和鼻窦内液体中的乙醇浓度非常吻合，其他病例的差异范围在-51.8%至147%之间。血液和鼻窦内液体中的乙醇似乎都能证实“溺水”的诊断。
