Abstract

This attempt to consider the injuries of the brain and cranial bones when the latter are broken by external violence is based on conditions encountered in 504 postmortem examinations made by one of us during the years 1911 to 1918. It does not include all the postmortem examinations during that period of the bodies of persons with such traumatic fractures, for in about sixty instances the measurements and other steps necessary in the interests of precision were not so detailed as in the 504 here reviewed. The patients were cared for in the Cook County Hospital or the Hospital of the House of Correction, and some postmortem examinations were of bodies of persons who were found dead or who died en route to a hospital. SIX FUNDAMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS Notwithstanding certain still mooted questions regarding the mechanism whereby the injuries of both the cranial bones and the brain are produced, and
