Patients And Methods: A retrospective study based on cases of misuse in a sample of people in custody examined between 2015 and 2016 at the forensic medicine unit of the hospital Hôtel-Dieu-Paris.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the agreement between postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and autopsy in detecting traumatic head injuries.
Materials And Methods: Consecutive cases of death that underwent both unenhanced PMCT and conventional autopsy were collected from our institution database during a period of 3 years and reviewed retrospectively. PMCT images were reviewed for the presence of fractures (cranial vault, skull base, facial bones and atlas/axis) and intracranial hemorrhage.
