SP - 321 EP - 327 VL - 50 IS - 6-7 N2 - We retrospectively reported and analyzed the clinical and radiological data of 18 patients admitted to Kremlin Bicetre institute for a craniocerebral gunshot wound between January 2000 and December 2005. There were 17 men and 1 woman, with a mean age of 43 (17 to 84 years old). There were 16 suicides and 2 murders. None of the patients underwent surgery in emergency for the treatment of craniocerebral gunshot wounds because of a low Glasgow Coma Scale. Bilateral areactive mydriasis, GCS ≤ 7, and bullet trajectory (if crossing the midline) are the most important factors predicting a fatal outcome.
