Popis: The authors analyze the possibility of detecting pelvic injuries in children on an inpatient basis by x-ray examination and computer-aided tomography and by morphological methods during forensic medical autopsy. A total of 146 cases are analyzed. X-Ray examination helped diagnose only 47.37% of all injuries in children with pelvic traumas. The informative value of the x-ray method may be improved if such factors as the presence of residual deformation with manifest asymmetry of the small pelvis entry are taken into consideration. If pelvic injuries are suspected in children, plane computer-aided tomography is advisable, for it permits the diagnosis of 76.32% injuries.
