![the inner surface of the skull, and corresponding nearly with the outer depression, is a more considerable fi'actureof the internal table, with a greater degree of depression than on the outer surface; and the fractured portions are more comminuted. A small extravasation of blood, about half an inch in diameter, was found on the surface of the dura mater, opposite to the fracture. This preparation was taken from the body of Wm. W., who was admitted with a small wound on the right side of the head; he became delirious on the following daj^, and died four days after his admission. Post Mortem and Case Booh. 1847. p. 125. 9. Skull-Cap, from the body of James A. Two crowns of the trephine were applied in the neighbourhood of, and upon the fronto-parietal suture, for brain symptoms consequent upon fracture of the skull with depression of bone. The injury was caused by a fall off a coach-box; after recovering from the effects of a slight concussion, he remained well for a year (with the exception of an occasional head-ache) until a fortnight previous to his admission, when the pain in the head became constant. Upon the application of the trephine, a fracture with depression of bone was detected; the bone was sawn through, with some difficulty from its thickness and density, and, when removed, a small portion of the internal table was found broken into fragments, which were united to each other and to the dura mater by dense fibrous tissue. A minute quantity of purulent matter was also found beneath the bone. The patient died from diffuse inflammation of the sub-arachnoid areolar tissue. Post Mortem and Case Book. 1844. p. 14. 10. Fracture and Depression of the Frontal Bone, from a boy who died, in the Hospital, 24 hours after the accident. The brain in this case was wounded; and is preserved in a subsequent series. 11. Fracture and Depression of the Frontal Bone, just over the left superciliary ridge. The trephine was applied, but a portion of the internal table of the bone still projects into the cavity of the cranium. The bones are exceedingly thick, especially the frontal, where the diploe is excessively developed. 12. Extensive Fracture of the left Parietal, with Depression of a large fragment. One portion of the fracture ],asses across a main branch of the middle meningeal artery, close to the ante- rior inferior angle of the parietal. 13. Fracture, with Depression, just over the right Frontal protube- rance. A trephine was applied to the right side of the fracture, and the depressed portions of bone removed. 14. FTacture of the Skull, with Depression of the Bone. F’rom the body of Thomas C., a boy, aged 12. At the ])Ost mortem examination, a fracture with slight depression of (he right side of the frontal bone was found ; a fracture was also](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b24758292_0016.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
