\textbf{Forensic Medicine: Head Injuries.} Understanding the anatomy of the skull and the location of major blood vessels and sinuses is crucial in forensic analysis of head injuries to predict potential complications.
Matching the site of injury with the potentially affected part:
\begin{itemize}
\item (A) Blow on lateral convexity of head: The middle meningeal artery runs beneath the temporal bone in the lateral aspect of the skull. A blow to this area is likely to damage the Middle meningeal artery (II), leading to an extradural hematoma.
\item (B) Blow over forehead: The anterior ethmoidal artery is located in the anterior cranial fossa, near the forehead. A fracture in this region can injure the Anterior ethmoidal artery (III).
\item (C) Blow over occiput: The transverse and sigmoid sinuses are located in the posterior cranial fossa, near the occiput. A blow to the occiput can potentially damage the Transverse sigmoid sinus (IV).
\item (D) Blow on vertex: The superior sagittal sinus runs along the midline at the vertex of the skull. A blow to the top of the head can injure the Sagittal sinus (I).
\end{itemize}
Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I).
