An autopsy case of a 4-month-old boy who died immediately after being fed by a member of the staff of a day-care centre is described in this report. An autopsy certified that the cause of death was the aspiration of milk. There was no other apparent reason for the aspiration of milk into the trachea except for the left superior cornual defect of the thyroid cartilage. We therefore conclude that it was this defect which led to the aspiration of milk into the trachea.
本报告描述了一例4个月大男婴的尸检案例，该男婴在日托中心工作人员喂食后即刻死亡。尸检证实死亡原因是牛奶误吸。除甲状软骨左上角缺损外，没有其他明显的导致牛奶误吸入气管的原因。因此，我们得出结论，正是这一缺损导致了牛奶误吸入气管。
