During or after acupuncture treatment, sudden or unexpected death can happen. And appropriate postmortem examination with legal autopsy is very important and critical to determine whether or not the death is caused by acupuncture treatment itself. Many complications and injuries related with acupuncture have been known, but there may be no complications and no diseases to explain sudden death like our case. Therefore through our presenting case we intend to suggest a few points at postmortem examination in acupuncture related death cases and propose to consider the possibility of acupuncture shock in the cases similar to ours.
Key words : acupuncture, autopsy, complication
