Summary
Sudden death following carotid sinus trauma is rare but challenging for forensic investigations. This review synthesizes current literature on carotid sinus nerve anatomy, syndrome epidemiology, and injury mechanisms to aid forensic pathology.
Area of Science:
- Forensic Pathology
- Cardiovascular Physiology
Background:
- Carotid sinus trauma can cause sudden death via inhibition.
- Incidents are rare, with limited research, complicating forensic investigations.
- Determining carotid sinus involvement and disease roles in death is difficult.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review literature on carotid sinus-related deaths.
- To provide references for forensic pathology and prosecution.
Main Methods:
- Literature search of recent domestic and international studies.
- Systematic review of carotid sinus nerve anatomy.
- Review of carotid sinus syndrome epidemiology.
- Analysis of carotid sinus injury death mechanisms.
Main Results:
- The review synthesizes anatomical, epidemiological, and mechanistic data.
- It highlights the challenges in forensic determination of carotid sinus involvement in death.
Conclusions:
- Understanding carotid sinus anatomy and injury mechanisms is crucial for forensic pathology.
- Further research is needed to clarify the role of carotid sinus syndrome in sudden death investigations.
