[Post mortem diagnostic laparoscopy].
The authors report a case of laparoscopy post mortem for unexplained inpatient death. It is minimally invasive, easy to perform, accurate, and not disfiguring. As well, it is easy to accept among mourning families. It should be considered when consent for conventional autopsy is lacking.
