  • Title: [Postmortem examination of the fundus oculi in forensic medicine].
    Author: Dolezalová V.
    Journal: Soud Lek; 1978 Nov; 23(4):33-7. PubMed ID: 741234.
    Abstract:
    After an analysis of the literature, the author reflects on the problem to what extent the ophtalmologist can at present assess, based on a post-mortem examination of the ocular fundus, the time of death in cases where a team of specialists decides whether resuscitation may be terminated after clinical death of a patient where an organ is foreseen for transplantation, and in forensic and criminal medicine some time after death. The author is convinced that post-mortem ophtalmoscopy performed by a specialist is a valuable contribution to contemporary and future forensic medicine.
