摘要：

Hatchet blows to the human skull often cause fatal injuries We present a case of homicide by hatchet blow that underwent CT, MRI, and autopsy examination Skull fragmentation, fracture lines, and brain injuries were demonstrated prior to autopsy Many of the hatchet-specific characteristics (flaking, crushing, shattering, and fracture lines) described in literature were observed in the post-mortem imaging of this case (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd All rights reserved
