Abstract

In choking, throttling, and atypical hanging lymph nodes above and below the region of violence show dilatation and hyperemia of capillaries, unequally distributed. Moreover, irregularly distributed slight bleedings in the tissue of lymph nodes are to be found. Blood is to be seen in the intermediary sinuses and in the marginal sinus in spite of the short time of survival. Obviously, the intensity of violence is of importance. Hypostasis in a deep position of head during unconsciousness and reanimation procedures--both events usually last one or several hours--produce an almost equal dilatation of capillaries and veins of cervical lymph nodes. Slight bleedings are to be found especially near the follicles. The different microscopic pictures may be of significance with regard to differential diagnosis.
