Analysis of ballistic trajectories and its association with clinical outcomes in civilian penetrating brain injury
In our study PBI avoiding the ventricular system, brain stem, dorsum sellae and the circle of Willis were associated with more survivability. A "potential lethal zone" was detected and associated with poor outcome after civilian PBI due to firearms. A better evaluation of the performance of this "potential lethal zone" in larger studies will be required.
