    AbstractIn this study, we present a retrospective analysis of 107 cases due to civilian craniocerebral gunshot wounds that were treated by the medical faculty of Dicle University during a period of 7 years (January 1993 to January 2000). Twenty patients died at the hospital, and the deaths were determined to result from direct effects of brain damage. Coma was the best prognostic guideline. Diffuse brain damage and ventricular injury, particularly infections, were associated with poor outcome.
