Abstract
In clinical and legal cases some injuries found in living patient or dead body can give rise to difficulties of interpretation regarding the nature of the legally relevant formation mechanism.

The authors propose a narrative review of the literature that enables us to recognize in the analysis of the kind of bleeding or type of associated lesions, useful and updated support tools for settlement of the case in question.
