Abstract

This case report offers a multidisciplinary interpretation of the violent death of a 4yearold girl suffering from Alagille syndrome who died after a lowheight fall that resulted in temporal bone fracture and a large epidural hematoma The article evidences the macroscopical and microscopical characteristics of the syndrome focusing especially on the skeletal findings that emerged during autopsy In the case report distinction is made between a possible accidental or nonaccidental nature of the injuries and the characteristics of the injury have been interpreted in the light of the existing data on Alagille syndrome In conclusion the death was documented as accidental since abnormalities in the skeletal system evidenced during autopsy have predisposed the death of the child albeit through a very mild head trauma The case report evidences the importance of studying features of skull macro and microstructure in patients with Alagille syndrome which have been until now underreported in literature and which might contribute to fracture vulnerability in these patients Although rare Alagille syndrome is a condition that should be known to forensic medicine practitioners and whose features and peculiarities must be taken into consideration in pediatric autopsy and suspected child abuse casesThe authors would like to thank Prof Sue Black Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification University of Dundee for her affability for sharing her experience and knowledge on juvenile osteology and for her suggestions during the finalization of the manuscript The authors would also like to thank the two reviewers that helped to strengthen the manuscript with their comments and suggestions
