FORENSIC ISSUES OF DEATHS DUE TO CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA IN SIBIU COUNTY - RETROSPECTIVE STUDY BETWEEN 2007 AND 2016
Abstract:
Purpose: Deaths due to craniocerebral trauma are a global problem that affects all sectors
of society. Materials and methods: We conducted a longitudinal retrospective study over a 10-year
period, on a total of 327 cases, from the casuistry of the Sibiu County Forensic Service. We followed
the epidemiological distribution by age groups, gender, origin environment, distribution of cases
according to circumstances they occurred, production mechanism and death-inducing syndromes of
craniocerebral trauma. Results: The study found that nearly one-third of all deaths following
mechanical traumatic lesions were due to craniocerebral trauma. Most of these deaths occur more
frequently in men and in urban people. Also, an important part of these traumas occurred as a result
of domestic accidents, by simple falls.
