Figure 2-52. Autopsy views of the endocranial surface of a 9-month-old female. Note the linear fracture of the squamous temporal bone indicated by arrowheads (a) and in close-up (b). The fractures are devoid of any indication of a healing
response. The cause of death was classified as blunt force head trauma with skull fractures and brain injury, the manner as homicide.
