FORENSIC MEDICAL EVALUATION OF THE DEGREE OF HEALTH RISK FROM CHRONIC SUBDURAL HEMATOMAS

Data on the mechanism responsible for the development of chronic subdural hematoma, its duration and the accurate time of its onset time are important during forensic medical examination if the question arises as to the estimation of a victim’s health risk. X-ray computed tomography gives exhaustive information on this problem; moreover, its results are used to determine its treatment plan, recovery time, and prognosis.
