RESUMEN

Cuando ocurre la muerte del resultado de la concepción, con la realización de la necropsia médico-legal se deben precisar aspectos importantes que definirán las conductas a seguir con los presuntos responsables de un delito. Para ello es necesario precisar si existió vida extrauterina o no, que le dará a este resultado, la definición de persona, según lo establecido en la legislación civil.

Objetivo:

Establecer el posible tipo de delito y enmarcar la posibilidad de que se trate de un aborto ilícito o un asesinato, además de precisar las causas y circunstancias en que la muerte se produjo. Presentación del caso Se trata de un cadáver resultado de la concepción que fue hallado en una vivienda, dentro de un envoltorio, junto a la placenta y el cordón umbilical, cuya madre había mantenido su embarazo oculto. Durante el acto de la necropsia se demostró que era un producto viable que había presentado vida extrauterina.

Conclusiones:

Se presenta un caso poco frecuente en la práctica forense. Se determinó que se trataba de una recién nacida, por haber presentado vida extrauterina, cuyas causas de muerte estuvieron en relación con un traumatismo craneoencefálico(AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

When the death of a product of conception occurs, important aspects resulting from the completion of the medico-legal necropsy that define the behaviors to be followed with those presumed responsible for a crime must be specified. To achieve this, it is necessary to establish whether extrauterine life existed or not, which will give the definition of person to the mentioned product, as it is established in the civil legislation.

Objective:

To establish the possible type of crime and consider the possibility of an illegal abortion or a murder, as well as to specify the causes and circumstances in which the death occurred. Case Presentation A corpse that was considered a product of conception was found in a dwelling house, wrapped up next to the placenta and the umbilical cord. The mother had kept a hidden pregnancy. During the act of performing a necropsy, it was demonstrated that it was a viable product that had had extrauterine life.

Conclusions:

A rare and unusual case is presented in forensic practice. It was determined that she was a newborn baby girl because she had had extrauterine life, whose causes of death were related to a traumatic brain injury(AU)
