Scalp lacerations are frequently seen in both living trauma victims and at post-mortem examination. In clinical circles, it is well known that even "trivial" lacerations of blood-rich areas such as the scalp may bleed profusely and persistently.It is less well known, however, that hemorrhage even from simple scalp lacerations may be fatal. We present seven cases in which hemorrhage from simple scalp lacerations was considered to be the principle cause of death.Chronic alcohol misuse, alcoholic liver disease, and the co-existence of other pathologies such as ischemic heart disease were frequently contributory factors.
头皮裂伤在活体创伤受害者和尸检中都很常见。在临床领域，众所周知，即使是头皮等血供丰富区域的“轻微”裂伤也可能大量且持续出血。然而，鲜为人知的是，即使是简单的头皮裂伤引起的出血也可能是致命的。我们报告了7例以简单头皮裂伤出血为主要死因的病例。长期酗酒、酒精性肝病以及其他病理状况如缺血性心脏病的并存常常是促成因素。
