title: [A forensic medical examination of an exhumation in the first half of the 19th century in Montenegro].
abstract: Seven years after the homicide, the court ordered exhumation and expertise of the cranium. The well-known physician and surgeon Yovo Ilichkovitsh, who took part in many campaigns during the 19th Century and treated successfully complicated wounds and fractures, was appointed to examine the skull. He concluded that the bullet had entered the cranium from the back. The finding was based on the fact that bullet-hole was smaller than that at the exit. The event took place in Montenegro before 1850, being the first reported forensic expertise in this region.
