Abstract

In an extensive paper, the author reports the results of his many years of observations on percussion of the child's skull. Percussion is performed directly on the skull by short strokes with a bent finger; the child should lie on his back with a pillow under his head. In healthy children the percussion sound is blunt; with increased intracranial pressure the sound is tympanic.
