Abstract

The dissection of dead bodies for medical purposes that is postmortem examination dates back to
ages. The human body is vulnerable to various ailments because of its genetic constitution and its
immediate environment. The interaction of genetic and environmental forces cause and moderate the
severity of diseases, leaving clinicians highly perplexed in some situations. Postmortem therefore
becomes necessary to unravel medical mysteries especially remembering that no two patients are
exactly the same and there is virtually no impossibility in medicine. Over the centuries, the autopsy
remains the ultimate revealer of secrets and best means to understand hitherto obscure
pathophysiological processes.
