✦ Synopsis
Frequency and Conclusiveness of Liver-Cell Hydrops in Asphyxia and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Summary. A histological examination was carried out in 108 cases of as- phyxia, 28 cases of SIDS, and 33 cases with other causes of death to assess the occurrence of liver-cell hydrops. In almost all cases of violent suffocation of newborns and children up to 10 years of age hydrops of the hepatocyts were found, whereas these results could be verified only exceptionally after violent suffocation of adults. Eighteen cases or 64.3% of SIDS showed a diffuse distribution of liver-cell hydrops over each liver lobule. Liver-cell hydrops seems to represent a frequent morphological equivalent of acute oxygen deficiency in asphyxia in childhood and is a common finding in SIDS.
