Blunt Basal Head Trauma: Aspects of Unconsciousness
1992
Two cases of street violence directed to the skull base level and transverse to the cervical axis are described. No skeletal damage. The violence resulted in the so-called “traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage”, an often used, unspecified forensic “diagnosis”; it was here revealed to be due to rupture of the wall of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (p.i.c.a).
