The treatment in such cases is conservative, with removal of the projectile and care of the superficial infection or subsequent complications. [Illustration: Plate 2.] RIFLE--PLATE 2. HEAD. Gunshot Wound of the Head, with Lodgment of the Missile. Wound of entrance, near outer canthus, with course through eyeball to ethmoid body. Wound of exit, none. The Bulgarian Mannlicher bullet, shown half actual size on the plate, must be inclined on its long axis, about 30° from the perpendicular, to the plane of the plate. The slight penetration of the missile and its normal character show that, having struck no intervening object, it indicted the wound at extreme range. The treatment should meet the indication for removal of missiles in all superficial or easily accessible locations and when they cause reaction. Results to be expected are favorable except for loss of the eye. [Illustration: Plate 3.] RIFLE--PLATE 3. HEAD. Gunshot Fracture of the Ramus of the Lower Jaw. Wound of entrance, in the cheek behind the angle of the mouth. Wound of exit, below the tip of the mastoid. The course of the bullet was almost tangential to the ramus of the jaw, anteroposteriorly. The slight fragmentation, which is hardly more than a splitting of the bone, with little or no displacement, indicates that the wound was made by a rifle bullet at moderate velocity and at mid or long range. Treatment is expectant. Results are favorable. [Illustration: Plate 4.] RIFLE--PLATE 4. HEAD. Gunshot Fracture of the Ramus of the Lower Jaw. Wound of entrance, over the anterior border of the right ramus. Wound of exit, beneath the lobe of the ear. The wound was made by a rifle bullet with the velocity of long range, because wounds of a shrapnel ball never show such slight injury without lodgment or without marks of lead. The damage of the bone was very slight, as only a superficial fragment was chipped off. There were no signs of primary infection. Reaction and periostitis suggested the radiograph after infection had rarefied the fragment, shown but very faintly on the left side of the plate. The postero-anterior skull radiograph was made with the face superimposed upon the photographic plate. Treatment, incision and drainage. Results, good. [Illustration: Plate 5.] RIFLE--PLATE 5. HEAD. Gunshot Fracture of the Body of Lower Jaw, with Great Fragmentation and Displacement. Wound of entrance, to the left side of the median line of the lower jaw below the alveolar process, with course ranging downward and backward. Wound of exit, with extensive laceration, beneath lower border of the bone.
