RARE CASES OF BULLET EXIT WOUNDS OF SKULL WITH STRIPLIKE DEFECT
We describe the cases of examination of three corpses having gunshot hole bullet wounds with a peculiar strip-shaped defect. A distinctive morphological feature in all fractures was the presence of an oval (rounded) end (the entrance part) from which in all cases the "hair-like" crack receded, and there was an angular protuberance in the middle part of the strip-shaped defect corresponding to the maximum immersion of the firearm in the cranial cavity. We describe the conditions for formation of these features, as well as the data showing the diameter of the firearm and the direction of the shot.
