Forensic assessment of birth trauma in a full-term newborn: a case report
The article describes a forensic medical examination of combined birth craniocerebral trauma in a full-term newborn, with a double, tight umbilical cord entanglement around the neck. The manifestations of the injuries in this case were: craniocerebral and spinal injuries, a fracture of the left clavicle. The connection between the injury and the use of an obstetric remedy - removal/cutting of the umbilical cord loops from the fetus's neck - has been proven.
