Abstract

In the past twelve years a dramatic increase in the incidence of gunshot wounds to the head in the peace time in Ukraine. The current increase in firearm-related violence remains of concern to neurosurgeons in particular and to the community as a whole. Such injuries can be the result of numerous intentional or unintentional events. This article focuses on some problems of these wounds and concludes.
