PurposeBodies bequeathed to anatomical departments of medical schools in the Czech Republic for anatomical teaching and research belong to donors whose manner of death is deemed natural and does not require further investigation with medico-legal autopsies. However, there are rare cases when critical medico-legal findings related to the cause/manner of death or clinically relevant past surgical procedures can be found during anatomical dissection. This article also adds to the wealth of literature supporting the argument that pathologies and clinically relevant findings encountered by medical students during anatomical dissection are an opportunity for problem-based learning and integration of clinically oriented modules into early undergraduate phases of medical degree curricula.MethodsThis article gives an example of an extrapericardial iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia which was most likely caused by instrument manipulation during a thoracic surgical procedure and went unobserved for three years until the body was subject to anatomical dissection. ResultsAlthough this clinical finding was most likely unconnected to the cause of death of the donor, the case is a cautionary example that bodies undergoing anatomical dissection could contain evidence of previous surgical incaution during invasive procedures. ConclusionsFor the benefit of anatomical technicians and educators, this article also points out some examples when signs of suspicious death could be overlooked by medical professionals who establish a cause of death in bodies which could be a subject to body fixation and subsequent anatomical dissection. |
