Examination, at what time after death: 53 hrs.
No. in Regr 189-: 1030
Nature of disease: [Fat] Embolism
Morbid Appearances
Thorax Height = 5-7- Rigor mortis present. Well nourished. Discolouration and thickening of middle of left tibia (= Callus) Left knee joint distended with fluid. Old adhesions on left side, in upper part: also at base of lung to diaphragm.
Lungs. R. = 1.10, L. = 1.6. Much congestion throughout both lungs. Thyroid gland very large (cysts in in it).
Larynx – trachea – tubes No obstruction or sign of inflammation.
Heart = 13 oz. Right side not gorged. Heart flabby. Pulmonary artery contains some post-mortem clot: no apparent obstruction. Mitral and aortic cusps practically healthy. Mitral orifice admits 4 fingers. Heart muscle good. Coronary arteries appear natural when split up.
Abdomen Liver = 3.4 oz. Natural. Spleen = 7 oz. natural. Bile duct per [vision?]
