Objective To provide references in the forensic identification of injury and cerebrovascular malformation involved death cases, and to reduce the relevant medical dispute by exploring the forensic pathological features, identification of medical dispute as well as relationship between injury and disease. Methods We collected 33 cases of cerebrovascular malformation from January 2006 to December 2014 in West China Center of Forensic Medicine, including details of cases, clinical medical record and forensic pathology examination, and then the cases were retrospectively analyzed. Results In the 33 cases, the average age of the individuals was 37.4 years old, and the male/female ratio was 23/10. Nineteen patients (57.6%) died within 1 hour. Seventeen patients with mixed pathological type of cerebrovascular malformation dominated (51.5%). Medical dispute happened in 7 cases (21.1%), 4 of which were identified to be led by medical fault and 3 with no medical fault. Relationship between injury and disease was analyzed in 11 cases (33.3%), in which injury was identified to take full responsibility in 1 case, inductive cause of death in 9 cases, and no relationship between injury and death in 1 case. Conclusion Comprehensive and systematic investigation of forensic pathology plays an important role in the proper settlement of medical disputes as well as the identification of cause of death and relationship between injury and disease.
