On postmortem examination, severe congestion and edema of the lungs with blood-tinged pleural (250 mL) and pericardial (75 mL) effusion were evident. This needle-free, electrode-based acupuncture technique stimulated an area of the wrist thought in traditional Chinese medicine to be linked to one of the body's major energy lines, the pericardial meridian. Various mechanisms of improper fusion have been proposed, including (1) ischemia and necrosis secondary to mechanical factors and vascular anomalies, (2) failure of the mesenchyme to penetrate the midline, resulting in poor interaction between the mesoderm and ectoderm, and (3) pressure exerted on the cervical area by the pericardial roof. |
