Deaths of young women due to autoerotic asphyxia have been rarely reported. The case of a 19-year-old woman is described in which several of the characteristic death-scene features found in cases of male autoerotic asphyxial deaths were absent. An awareness that this syndrome may occur among women with a less obvious presentation than in men is essential so that death will not be incorrectly attributed to nonaccidental causes. This syndrome may be more common than the number of reported cases would suggest.
年轻女性因自体窒息死亡的案例鲜有报道。本文描述了一名19岁女性的案例,该案例中未出现男性自体窒息死亡案例中常见的一些典型死亡场景特征。必须认识到,这种综合征在女性中可能有较男性不那么明显的表现,以免将死亡错误归因于非意外原因。这种综合征可能比报告的病例数所显示的更为常见。
