It a medical term meaning "around the time of death" (i.e. occurring shortly before or after). This is similar to the use of postmortem, which means after death.

How can you tell whether an injury occurred perimortem or antemortem?

Perimortem injuries occur around the time of death and may show signs of bleeding. Antemortem injuries, on the other hand, show signs of healing, such as new bone formation. To differentiate between the two, forensic experts may examine the surrounding tissues and bones for evidence of healing to determine the timing of the injury.


What does 'antimortem' means?

the correct spelling is antemortem; and as a bit from dictionary.com says: "-adjective before death: an antemortem confession. Also, ante-mortem, ante mortem." In paleopathology or forensic anthropology and osteology, antemortem refers to damage done before death, as opposed to perimortem damage done at the time of death and post-mortem damage, as done on CSI (post death trauma!) Anti- is the prefix for against, or opposite, while ante- is the prefix for before or in advance of. Hope this helps!
