Abstract

The article pays attention to different types of aortic ruptures that occur during forensic examinations of corpses, and emphasizes non-traumatic (spontaneous, spontaneous) aortic ruptures.The aim of the study. Focus the attention of forensic physicians on the need to clearly adhere to the correct description of the changes in the aorta during its rupture, as the cause of death in the forensic diagnosis to indicate exactly those changes that occurred in a particular case, competently describe and reflect pathological process in the aorta, not to allow a "generalized" approach to all aortic ruptures, not to use the "typical", the most common term "rupture of the stratified aortic aneurysm" in all cases, regardless of whether there are changes in the aorta or not.Results of the research. This work are based on the data of the literature on the considered question and own observations from forensic practice. The focus is on the topographic anatomy of the aorta using the International Anatomical Nomenclature, highlights the main causes of both spontaneous and traumatic aortic ruptures. Particular attention is paid to the need to clearly define the concepts related to aortic ruptures without aneurysms and dissections, aortic aneurysm ruptures without vascular wall dissections and aortic dissections without aneurysm formation.
