| Popis: | Deaths during dental and oral surgical procedures may lead to litigation alleging malpractice. For this reason, and because of their sudden and unexpected nature, they often come to the attention of forensic pathologists. We review the clinical and anatomic findings of a 3-year-old boy who expired following an oral surgical procedure in the temporomandibular region. During the operation, perforation of the base of the skull occurred causing laceration of a branch of the middle meningeal artery and fatal subdural and epidural bleeding. |
