%X The differentiation between accidental and self-inflicted injuries is one of the typical challenges for forensic pathologists. This article reports the case of a 38-year-old man who was found severely injured at his workplace with a penetrating injury of the abdomen and approximately 1.2 m of the small intestines were eviscerated. Because of the extraordinary and severe injury it was hard for the physicians to believe that such an injury could be self-inflicted, but based on classical wound morphology and the lack of indications for a criminal offence the diagnosis of self-inflicted injury could be confirmed. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.<p /><p>Language: de</p>
