Özet
Emergency service physicians have forensic physician duties in addition to providing treatment and protective services. Errors in forensic report writing could affect the judicial process negatively.A 16-year old male presented at the Emergency Department (ED) following an assault. With a diagnosis of epidural hematoma on the computed tomography taken because of head trauma, the patient was transferred to the brain surgery ward. In the forensic report written in ED, there was stated to be a danger to life. In the repeated evaluation, there was seen to be a mass in the calvarium and surgery was performed. In the histopatholgical evaluation, the diagnosis was made of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. It must not be forgotten that errors or ommissions in a forensic report constitute malpractice. The necessary care and attention must be paid to forensic reports prepared in the Emergency Department.
