Of 91 unselected forensic autopsy cases then lateral muscles of both eyes were prepared in stepped sections and examined for microscopical haemorrhages. During autopsy we payed attention to macroscopical haemorrhages. Microscopical haemorrhages were found in 12 cases mainly in suffication processes as in two cases of fulminant pulmonary embolism. In five of the examined cases we also found macroscopical hemorrhage, mainly with strangulation. According to our results till now, haemorrhage in ocular muscles are seen in the process of aspyxia; if this is protracted as in manual strangulation or strangulation by ligature, macroscopical haemorrhage may occur.
