Tardieu spots are small, pinpoint petechial hemorrhages that occur on the serous membranes, such as the pleura and pericardium, as well as on the skin and mucous membranes. They are often associated with asphyxia and are named after the French pathologist Paul Tardieu, who described them in relation to sudden deaths. These spots are indicative of the presence of certain conditions, including suffocation, strangulation, or other forms of violent death, and can be important in forensic pathology.
