  • Title: [The forensic-medical expertise in craniofacial trauma].
    Author: Solokhin EV.
    Journal: Sud Med Ekspert; 2004; 47(6):14-8. PubMed ID: 15648917.
    Abstract:
    Archive materials of the recent 6 years, including 14720 death cases of victims, were analyzed for the purpose of detecting the general regularities of injuries within the craniofacial trauma (CFT). The diversity of CFT with injuries to skull bones and medullary substance was found not to interfere with establishing an actual type and mechanism of trauma provided all injuries are thoroughly and comprehensively examined. The trauma specificity must be evaluated with respect to a location and direction of traumatic force in order to define an actual impact that caused death. CFT is special variation of craniocerebral trauma, whose onset mechanism needs more research. The efficiency of forensic-medical examination of CFT cadavers directly depends on the coordination and logic of measure undertaken by expert as well as on his technical outfit and knowledge of such trauma. The diversity of variations of damage to anatomic head structures requires an interdisciplinary approach with the need to isolate a predominant chain that affects the course and outcome of trauma.
