Product Information

Excerpt from Brain, Vol. 25: A Journal of Neurology, Edited for the Neurological Society of London In the course of my hospital career I have had before me, like every other surgeon, a large number of cases of head-injury, and in the presence of one of them have I t been conscious of the intricate difficulty of the problems to be solved, or very frequently t been eager to discover some ground, however small, for bringing relief and it may be rescue from impending danger to the injured person. The conditions of modern surgery, anti- or a-septic, as the practice of the individual may decide, come here to the surgeon's aid, and that which has been found practicable in the case of other closed cavities and serous membranes, and the diseases confined by them is, we all kw, equally practicable in the case of the skull and the membranes of the brain. I compare the state of things w with the state of things in my student days. Then, hesitation in resorting to surgical measures, even by the least fearless surgeons; w, the fullest confidence that the chief danger of wounds has been removed. Then, the unhappy prospect, too often fulfilled, of meningitis, pyaemia, and death; w, the practical certainty that t one of these dire consequences is to be feared. During the last fifteen years of my practice at St. Mary's Hospital I find that in only two cases of head-injury, neither of which was subjected to operation, was death brought about by visible septic agencies: one from septic meningitis, the origin of which was never explained; the other because of a fracture through the middle fossa having opened a communication between the cranial cavity and the middle ear, which was affected with chronic suppuration.
