Abstract:- Subendocardial haemorrhage (SEH) is an atypical feature in many forensic autopsies, especially in victims of severe trauma. These haemorrhages are not only accompanied with blood loss due to trauma but also seen in non traumatic conditions such as poisoning and following transfusion of infected blood. In this retrospective study, we have analysed 1778 autopsy cases and investigated for the incidence of subendocardial haemorrhages in relation to their causes.
Key words:-Subendocardial haemorrhage; heart; autopsy; incidence.
