The tongue was examined for the presence of haemorrhages in 264 medicolegal autopsy cases. The tongue was sectioned transversely and examined macroscopically and microscopically. Haemorrhages were found in marginal and/or central parts of the tongue in 104 cases. Among them, 28 cases showed haemorrhages in central parts of the tongue. Those haemorrhages in central parts of the tongue were seen only in cases of severe 'congestive death'. The possibility must therefore be considered of a severe 'asphyxial death', if haemorrhages are found in central parts of the tongue during autopsy.
在264例法医尸检病例中检查了舌头是否存在出血情况。将舌头横向切片，进行宏观和微观检查。104例病例在舌头边缘和/或中央部位发现出血。其中，28例在舌头中央部位出现出血。舌头中央部位的那些出血仅在严重“充血性死亡”病例中可见。因此，如果在尸检时在舌头中央部位发现出血，必须考虑严重“窒息性死亡”的可能性。
