Abstract
An account is given of the use of radiography in 164 Nigerians admitted to the University College Hospital, Ibadan, with missile head wounds. All of them had plain skull radiographs which assisted the classification of these wounds and showed appearances characteristic of some of these lesions. Cerebral angiography was performed on only 12 patients with positive results in 3. The indications and place of this procedure in the management of these wounds are discussed. It would appear that, as an investigation of choice, cerebral angiography is less valuable in missile head wounds than in civilian head injuries.
