Abstract

: Cranio-cerebral trauma is one of the most serious and frequently encountered causes of death, ranking first in the structure of violent death, among children and adolescents. The present work aimed to study the frequency, dynamics, structure and lesional peculiarities of lethal craniocerebral trauma in children. In order to achieve the proposed goal, 86 cases of lethal head trauma in children examined in the Chisinau thanatology department of the Center of Forensic Medicine for the period 2015-2021 were analyzed. Our study showed that 61.6% of male children died, more frequently aged 13-15; death mainly occurred in spring and summer. Head traumas were noticed mostly in urban areas (78.5%), due to transport and falls from height. Meningo-cerebral traumas (35.8%), scalp wounds (31.6%) and skull bone fractures (24.7%) were predominantly established during autopsies. A less prevalence of cranial fractures can be explained by peculiarities and high elasticity of bone tissue in children.

儿童致命性头部损伤的特殊性

颅脑外伤是儿童和青少年中最严重和最常见的死亡原因之一，在暴力死亡结构中排名第一。本研究旨在探讨儿童致死性颅脑损伤的频率、动态、结构和病变特点。为了实现提出的目标，对2015-2021年期间在基希讷乌法医中心死亡学系检查的86例儿童致命性头部创伤进行了分析。我们的研究表明，61.6%的男孩死亡，多发生在13-15岁;死亡主要发生在春季和夏季。头部外伤主要发生在城市地区(78.5%)，原因是交通和高空坠落。脑外伤(35.8%)、头皮外伤(31.6%)和颅骨骨折(24.7%)在尸检中主要确定。颅骨骨折发生率较低的原因是儿童骨组织的特殊性和高弹性。
