Keywords:
Legal medical necropsy; cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme; tumor infarction.Abstract
We present the case of a young adult deceased, 31 years of age, who was necropsied by the Department of Legal Medicine since the antecedent of a fall to the plane of sustentation was gathered and was thought to be a traumatic death of accidental etiology; nevertheless, in the act of the necropsy, it was corroborated that it was not like that, but that she presented a cerebellar tumor that, by the establishment of the symptoms, was the cause of the fall, being a finding during the necropsy. With this study we can see how during the act of the legal medical necropsy we can identify deaths from natural causes that, at first, seem to be accidental; For this reason, it is always necessary to take into account the correct external and internal examination of the corpse and not just take as granted the case antecedents.
