TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Stab injuries of the skull and brain JO - Zeitschrift fur Rechtsmedizin A1 - Ritter, C. A1 - Adebahr, G. SP - 229 EP - 234 VL - 96 IS - 3 N2 - A few cases of skull and brain stab wounds are described and the clinicodiagnostic problems discussed. The injuries often remain unrecognized because the external wound often appears harmless, there are no neurological symptoms, or the clinical picture is interpreted as drunkenness, blunt injury or as another disease. The importance of a precise physical examination of the whole patient's head is pointed out. The refined methods used in modern radiodiagnostics of the skull are the most helpful in correctly recognizing these injuries; there are reports of patients with severe injuries who recovered when the correct diagnosis had been established.
