Abstract

This article presents an algorithm for the forensic-medical evaluation of mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI). In cases of mild TBIs, especially concussions or minor contusions, a systematic assessment based on clinical signs, diagnostic methods, medical documentation, and forensic criteria is of paramount importance[1,2,3]. The article proposes an algorithmic approach to identifying mild brain injuries based on clinical, laboratory, and instrumental methods. Additionally, the grounds for classifying such injuries as minor bodily harm in accordance with the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan are analyzed.
