ABSTRACT

Covid-19 is the cause of a global pandemic that has caused millions of deaths around the world; the mechanism of
death from this disease may be unknown, especially among young people. The forensic autopsy is a valuable tool
for understanding the mechanism of death. The aim of this autopsy description is to include an Algerian
contribution in the descriptive studies of cases which have been published worldwide to describe the process of
death by this disease. The objective of this work is an autopsy description, we only studied the clinical and
macroscopic results of 03 autopsy cases of patients who died from Coronavirus COVID-19, young subjects aged
31, 41 and 51 years. Our patients are all young, without major risk factors apart from the 1st case who presents
obesity, contrary to what is described in the literature on the association of risk factors with death from covid-19.
Our clinical observation also shows that the deaths studied are unvaccinated subjects, hence the importance of
vaccination in prevention and in the occurrence of complications. A thromboembolic complication having affected
the cerebral venous system in the three cases which is associated with damage to the anterior interventricular
coronary artery in two cases. It should be noted that the mild symptoms of Coronavirus cases must be managed
with caution because they could suddenly decompensate and cause sudden death.
