The Pitfalls of Diagnosing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: Case Studies

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The autopsy diagnostics of children generally include specific features, however no clear guidelines are available. Most discussions centre around the diagnosis of SIDS. In practice, some cases may be falsely diagnosed as SIDS whereas they actually involve intentionally violent acts. The aim of this paper is to describe the pitfalls of diagnosing the causes of the sudden and unexpected deaths of infants using three actual case reports from the Czech Republic. The common feature of these cases was the assumption that the death had been caused by SIDS or was diagnosed as such, while child abuse and neglect syndrome or other maltreatment was suspected. The research method of choice was a retrospective content analysis of all the medical and forensic autopsy reports of three infants who died within the 1st year of life. Two of these cases were judged as the result of SIDS, the third one as a violent death. Forensic-medical diagnoses affect the subsequent procedures of law enforcement authorities.
