[A computer-tomographical examination of cranial bullet wounds (author's transl)].

The report covers the computer-tomographical examination of six patients with acute cranial bullet injuries and fifteen patients suffering from the sequels of such injuries. The diagnostic and prognostic significance of this method of examination in the case of acute injuries is described. The extent of cerebral defects in the case of sequels can be documented during this process by means of x-ray. The computer-tomography therefore offers an objective basis for the assessment of this type of sequela.
