305 - Is showing a complete skull without the mandible of a male victim above the age of 40 years.
There is a circular defect in the left parietal eminence (about 6.5 cm in diameter).
The edges of this defect are showing bone erosion, i.e. sepsis, denoting survival of the victim for about 4 to 6 weeks after the injury. So it is considered an old localized depressed fracture with surgical interference and complicated by sepsis, which caused death of the victim 4-6 weeks after that from intracranial septic complications.
