Abstract
Head injuries are common. Between three-quarters and one million cases, ranging from superficial to life threatening injuries, attend accident and emergency (A&E) departments in the UK each year. This new series on neurosurgery was inspired by head injuries recently suffered by boxers. It does not deal directly with neurosurgery undertaken for other reasons. The series begins with this article by consultant neurosurgeon Graham Flint. It will be followed by other articles on neurosurgical nursing and on the experiences of a neurosurgical patient who also happens, at the present time, to be a nurse in training. The fourth article will describe the rehabilitation of patients by the charity, Headway.
