Background: Radiography is traditionally used as a complement tool for forensic examination. CT applications became widely used.Traumatic cerebral hemorrhage occurs in up to 15% of patients following head injury and non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage accounts for up to 44% of all strokes. These two disorders are therefore very common. So there is a need for accurate diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage form medicolegal aspect.Aim: This study aims to differentiate between traumatic and non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage by using CT. Methods: This prospective, conducted on 100 patients with intracranial hemorrhage and divided in two equal groups of traumatic and non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage and studied by CT. Results: There was statistically significant difference between traumatic and non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage groups in CT finding. Conclusion: we conclude that equation Function (f) = - 0.976 (constant) + 2.873(Epidural) + 2.017 (Subarachnoid) - 0.416 (Intraventricular) + 0.984 (Frontal) -3.047 (Subcortical)If the function (f) = + values, it will be traumatic hemorrhage and if the function (f) = - values it will be pathological hemorrhage
