Özet

In the last decade, the whole world has witnessed a chaotic process characterized by uprisings, revolutions, and wars in the Middle East. The Syrian civil war, with its local and global consequences, is the most destructive of these events. Social and economic aspects of the effects of the Syrian civil war were discussed in detail. However, the change in forensic postmortem case pattern of neighboring countries remains unclear. Here, we aim to discuss the effects of the Syrian civil war on forensic postmortem case patterns in Turkey as a neighboring country, with possible causes and suggestions.
