What is Which of the following is a characteristic post moem finding of drowning? and explain in detail?
Paltauf's haemorrhages are postmoem changes of drowning. The alveolar walls may rupture due to increased pressure during forced expirations, and produce hemorrhages, which when present subpleurally are called 'Paltauf's hemorrhages'. Paltauf' s haemorrhages are shining, pale bluish-red, and may be minute or 3-5 cm. in diameter. They are usually present in about 50% of cases in the lower lobes of the lungs, but may be seen on the anterior surfaces of the lungs, and the interlobar surfaces.
