JONES, DANA KATaLEEN

On the back of the head 5 inches below the buttocks and located in the midline is .an irre9ular laceration measuring 1-3/4 inches. The underlying occipital skull has a linear fracture extending from the midline to the left near the foramen magnum. The fracture measures about 4-1/2 inches.

EXTERNAL EXAMINATION:

The body is identified by toe tags and is that of an unembalmed, refrigerated female Caucasian who appears about the reported age of 50 years. The body weighs 146 pounds, measures 68 inches and is slightly thin. Rigor has presumably been altered as well as livor.

Examination of the eyes reveals irides that appear to be hazel in color and sclerae that are white. There are no petechial hemorrhages of the conjunctivae of the lids or sclerae. The oronasal passages are unobstructed. Opper and lower teeth are present. The neck is ~remarkable. There i~ no chest deformity. The abdomen is flat. The genitalia are thos, of an adult female. The extremities show no deformity.

EVIDENCE OF THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION:

The following are present and properly positioned: Endotracheal tube, nasogastric tube and urinary catheter. There is evidence that the following surgical procedures have been performed;

CJBCUmTANCES; The following information i& taken from the investigator's summary of . case and Dr. Chinwah's autopsy report. The .SO years old Caucasian female fell to the floor and· sustahled blunt fmce bead trawria while doing yoga e.xerciscs at her residence. CT scan of bead revealed skull fracture and subdutal hcmonhage. She died 3 days lat=-.

.. GROSS DUCIUPTIQN: Specimen consists of poorly fixed brain and complete cranial dura mater. Examination of the subdural surface revealed att■c-bment of small fresh blood clots on the right dura and a small BIDO\Ult on the le.ft There are more acute subdural blood clots in the posterior fossa. Unknown amount of subdural blood is icmoved at hospital by left c:nmiotomy. Dural sinus is patent without thrombosis. 1b8 fresh brain at rem.oval weighed 1450 grams. The brain shows marked . swelling and hemiatioDB. Gyri arc flat and snlci are narrowed. Uncal and parahippocampal herniations are present Duk red blood ia covcrin& on gyral crowns and sulci are full of blood. It is thick on frontal poles, orbital cortices and right cerebral hemisphere. The right fronw.temporo-paricto­occipital subaradmoid hcmormagc is severe BDd thick. Left and right frontal pole contusion/aubaradmoid hemorrhage mc88UlCS 11 ~ S cm. Frontal pole tissue disruption is more on the left than right. There is anotbt.r defect in the left middle frontal gyms measuring 3 x 1.5 cm. Oelfoam is covering on the inferior frontal cortex. Marked congestion of v~ is ser.n. Then is autolysis of brain stem. cerebellum md cmter of brain. Optic nervea, . chiasm, infundibulum and mammillvy bodies are completely autolysed. O,ri ,µ,.cl sulci are well formed and there is no congenital anomaly • .

The entire brain is discolored due to traumatic brain injury and caebra1 ede.ma At the base. rectus gyri and orbital cortex are covered with fresh blood clots and gelfoam soaked with blood. The cortex is oontu&cd. Oyri are swollen and sulci are obliterated. Brain pamnchyma is soft due to Nle:ma, ,iwelling and poor fixation. Inferior temporal lobes are coveted with thin subaradmold hemonbagc. Belly of the pons and medulla are swollen. Basal cisterns a:re small.
