title: Penetrating craniocerebral airgun injury. Anaesthetic management with propofol infusion and review of recent reports.
abstract: Low velocity cerebral missile injuries inflicted by air guns frequently cause little primary neurological damage, but the patient often suffers severe later deterioration which has been classified as a type of 'talk and die' head injury. The anaesthetic management of a penetrating air rifle missile injury using an infusion of propofol is described.
