Özet

The aim of this study is to examine methyl alcohol poisoning cases from the medico-legal point of view.

The victim's age, sex, death year, death place, methyl alcohol blood levels, the source of methyl alcohol, accompanying laboratory results and histopathologic tissue changes were recorded.
