Abstract

The authors report a series of 33 cases of craniocerebral lesions secondary to projectiles injuries studied by means of CT scan. Ct scans demonstrate the path of the missile, destructions of deep cerebral parenchyma, dissections of with matter (intra-cerebral bubble) and reactive oedema. Prognostic incidence of CT is discussed. CT scan helps to choose the best therapeutic approach as regards each particular case.
