Abstract

SIBON OLANO, A.; QUESADA, M.C.  and  MARTINEZ GARCIA, P.. Posttraumatic anisocoria simulation. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.1, pp.48-50. ISSN 1988-611X.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1135-76062014000100007.

In forensic practice is relatively common to find individuals who produce or exaggerate symptoms of disease, consciously, with the intention of making a profit. Sometimes, malformations or previous pathologies attributed to a new traumatic event. It is therefore necessary to be careful when establishing causation. Today we bring, the case of an individual who seeks to attribute the traumatic aftermath of an attack anisocoria. The Forensic Physician, with the collaboration of the Scientific Police, was able to demonstrate that the origin of the injury was before, not being able to establish a causal link.

Keywords : Traumatic anisocoria; Traumatic mydriasis; Simulation.
