چکیده انگلیسی
A man in his fifties was found dead in his bed. Using postmortem CT, the frontal sinus wall was seen to have been destroyed and a subcutaneous / intra-cranial mass-like lesion was detected. Postmortem blood biochemical examination demonstrated high values of urea nitrogen, c-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and precepsin, which were thought to be due to sepsis. Needle aspiration showed reddish viscous fluid, and the presence of Klebsiella oxytoca was confirmed by culture inspection. Based on these results, Pott's puffy tumor with intracranial empyema, and dehydration with sepsis in the agonal period was assessed as the cause of death. Using autopsy evaluation, it was possible to come to a concrete conclusion, but a minimally invasive autopsy might be an alternative approach to investigate the cause of death.
