Abstract

VARGAS SANABRIA, Maikel. Abordaje del Trauma Cráneo Encefálico en Patología Forense. Med. leg. Costa Rica [online]. 2014, vol.31, n.2, pp.65-80. ISSN 2215-5287.

In this paper we describe the main mechanisms of trauma and major injuries that are founded in a violent death caused by head trauma in order to contribute to a practical approach to these cases in Forensic Pathology for both staff physicians and residents, in order to standardize and unify criteria; and always with the ultimate goal of contributing to the proper administration of justice that is the final purpose in Forensic Medicine.

Keywords : Traumatic brain injury; Forensic Pathology; Forensic Medicine; autopsies; traumatic forensic neuropathology; trauma mechanisms; pathophysiological diagnosis.
