Abstract
- A series of 24 cases of gun shot and explosive injuried patients of the brain is analyzed according to causes, types, operability, the relation between Glasgow coma scale(GCS) and operative mortality, associated injuries, complications and sequelae. The authors notice that gun shot and explosive injury of the brain are more worse than blunt head trauma because of injury mechanism by itself.
