Abstract

The distinction between self-inflicted injuries and other types of injuries is crucial in forensic medicine, and relevant features of wounds should be identified by pathologists, even when they are observed at atypical sites. Herein we report two cases of self-inflicted injuries of the neck involving two young women who had reported being attacked by men.
