Abstract

Head injuries are the most serious trauma in terms of morbidity and mortality. We are undertaking this study, as the relationship between intracranial hemorrhages and skull fractures, found at autopsies is frequently dramatic. Till date in our country hardly any study has been done, which focuses exclusively on the co-relation between intracranial hemorrhages and skull fractures.
