You could select the node with an XPathNavigator and see if there is a result.

For example:

FileStream stream = new FileStream("c:\\file.xml", FileMode.Open);
XPathDocument document = new XPathDocument(stream);
XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator();
XPathNodeIterator node = navigator.Select("/HeadReportUnit");
if (node.Count > 0)
{
   // do stuff
}
