    Abstract:
    Cranial traumas from gunshot wounds are characterised by the impact of a high velocity projectile. There are therefore serious, life threatening traumas. CT Scan is essential in the emergency setting for initial evaluation of traumatic bone and parenchymatous injuries to determine the indication for neurosurgery and appropriate medical management. In case of survival, CT Scan and MRI can be used to monitor progress and any possible complications, in particular vascular or infectious complications which are specific to this type of injury.
