Between Eye Difference in Vitreous Electrolytes after Death for Identical Postmortme Intervals

Estimation of time since death is a very important part of routine medicolegal postmortem work. Recently vitreous humour biochemistry is been considered as one of the best methods for estimation of this postmortem interval. However studies have shown that there appears a significant between eye differences in the values of vitreous electrolytes in samples obtained from the same individual at identical postmortem interval; questioning its usefulness. The current study done on 67 dead bodies has shown that there has been no any significant eye difference.
