Perhaps it was done to search for/remove bullet fragments.

 Is it possible to state a reference?  Or have you seen this yourself?
   (Just asking--this is not a retorical question.)

The problem I still have with the notion of a wound in the lower back of
Kennedy's head is that it doesn't show on the Zapruder film while the
wound on the right forward quarter of his head is really obvious.  I
would venture to say that if enough of the brain were destroyed, the
cerebellum would be visible through this wound (forward right).  Unless
I am mistaken, when Kennedy arrived at Parkland he still had a pulse.
Doesn't the cerebellum control heartrate?  Is this evidence that it
was undamaged?

It is disturbing that none of the autopsy photos shown on NOVA etc 
show the condition of Kennedy's head with the scalp pulled back.
There has been no phototgraphic evidence released, besides the Zapruder
film, which shows clear evidence of any large head wound.

It is even more disturbing that no mention seems to ever have been made
of any effort, successful or otherwise, to recover bullets or fragments
from Kennedy's body during the official autopsy.  This really taxes the
imaginination.
