The objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical condition of a subject with fatal traumatic subdural hematomas (SH) with special reference to such factors as the patient's age, the presence of concomitant intracranial injuries (ICI), and the total volume of hematomas. The study allowed to determine the length of the period during which persons with isolated subdural hematomas or hematomas associated with subarachnoidal hemorrhages (SAH) and brain contusion (BC) are still capable of active actions. ⋯ A method is proposed in which the presence of ISH is used as a basic characteristic for the objective estimation of the length of the integral terminal interval during which the patient is still able to act. The results of the study may find practical application for the purpose of forensic medical examination of craniocerebral injuries with SH.
