Correct Answer - A
Ans. is 'a' i.e., No cause of death is found on gross as well as
histopathological examination [Ref Dr. Anil Aggrawal p.124]
Types of autopsy
Normal autopsy - cause is apparent from gross examination
Defective autopsy - cause was ascertainable, but was not
ascertained due to constrains on the part of doctor, hospital, facilities etc
Obscure autopsy - gross findings are minimal, indecisive or obscure,
as in adrenal insufficiency, anesthetic overdose, myxedema, rare plant poisons, thyrotoxicosis etc. subsequent examination like
histology, microbiology, toxicology or serology reveal the cause.
Negative autopsy / inconclusive autopsy - Cause is not clear from
gross as well as subsequent examination
