A total of 387 cases of drowning in fresh water were investigated for the occurrence of liquid in sinus sphenoidalis and both left and right sinus maxillaris. About 75 per cent of the victims had positive findings of liquid in these cavities. This kind of investigation can be an auxiliary method in diagnosis of drowning.
