NEET PG FMT forensic medicine PYQ previous year questions with answers
Let's go! Here's Question 1 β actual NEET PG / AIIMS PYQ pattern:
π¬ FMT PYQ Quiz β Question 1
A 35-year-old male is found dead. At autopsy, the body shows greenish discolouration starting in the right iliac fossa. Which of the following is the most likely explanation?
- A) Livor mortis due to pooling of blood
- B) Putrefaction β the caecum has the highest bacterial load
- C) Rigor mortis in advanced stage
- D) Adipocere formation in warm moist conditions
Take your time and reply with A / B / C / D! π―
B
β CORRECT! Well done!
Answer: B β Putrefaction (caecum has highest bacterial load)
Explanation:
- Greenish discolouration starting in the right iliac fossa (RIF) is the earliest external sign of putrefaction
- The caecum (large intestine, RIF) contains the highest concentration of gut bacteria
- These bacteria (mainly Clostridium welchii) produce HβS gas which reacts with haemoglobin β sulphaemoglobin β greenish colour
- This appears around 24β48 hours after death in tropical climates
Why others are wrong:
- A) Livor mortis = purplish-red, dependent areas, not green
- C) Rigor mortis = stiffness, no discolouration
- D) Adipocere = waxy/soap-like change, not greenish
π¬ Question 2
A body is recovered from a well. On autopsy, lungs show large haemorrhagic areas beneath the pleura. Diatom test from bone marrow is positive. What are these lung haemorrhages called?
- A) Tardieu spots
- B) Paltauf haemorrhages
- C) Petechial haemorrhages
- D) Wischnewski spots
