Report is made of a systematic detailed study of 2,000 patients suffering from skull and brain injuries of gunshot origin. Some of the patients were seen within a few days of the injury, a much larger number within a few weeks, and a few a year or two later. 100 were kept under observation continuously for 10 years, and a larger number were seen less frequently, but detailed records were kept on them for 10 years. The book is divided into two sections: symptomatology, and treatment.
