Abstract

We have developed an experimental model to study cerebral pathophysiology associated with a missile wound to the brain. After wounding, vasogenic edema occurs about the missile wound track in the injured cerebral hemisphere. This edema is relatively mild, does not appear life-threatening, peaks at 48 hr after wounding, and spontaneously resolved in 1 week.
