[Starvation due to child neglect. Case report and aspects of expert testimony].
Case report on 2,5 years old monozygotic twins who died of starvation due to negligence. Different gradings of protein-energy-malnutrition are discussed, among them the Waterlow-classification of PEM. The advantage of the Waterlow-classification is that stunting and wasting can be distinguished. The Waterlow-classification is suitable also for the classification of fatal cases of starvation in childhood. Practical experiences with own cases and cases from the literature are presented.
