Abstract
Survival after accidental pressure exerted over neck is not common. In the literature also only few cases are available. Further, the victims or their relatives seek medical assistance only if complications arise and also it is not mandatory on the part of treating private practitioner to report such cases to the police.
Findings in the living on the 4th day after accidental compression of the neck by the personal apparel are described in this article. Red eyes due to scleral haemorrhages are the most striking feature and the position of knot with ligature mark is also well marked.
