The temporal bones from a two year old drowning victim are compared with those of a 13 month old strangulation victim. Tympanomastoid hemorrhage and submucosal edema and petechiae with moderate vascular congestion were characteristic in drowning. Marked congestion with edema but no sign of hemorrhage was found in strangulation. It is concluded that respiratory effort against a closed glottis is not solely responsible for the tympanomastoid hemorrhage known to occur frequently as a result of drowning.
将一名两岁溺水受害者的颞骨与一名13个月大勒死受害者的颞骨进行了比较。鼓膜乳突部出血、粘膜下水肿和瘀点伴中度血管充血是溺水的特征。勒死病例中发现有明显的充血和水肿，但无出血迹象。得出的结论是，针对闭合声门的呼吸努力并非溺水时常发生的鼓膜乳突部出血的唯一原因。
