About a singular anatomic specimen given by Dominique Larrey to Paris medical school
Abstract:
The Dupuytren Museum in Paris has a remarkable anatomic specimen which figures in the surgeon Larrey's works of 1812 and 1829. It consists of a soldier's skull impaled by the ramrod of the musket of one of his co-soldiers. The wounded soldier survived two days with this ramrod through his head. Besides this singular case, Larrey reports several observations of the uses and misuses of trephination with local and general appropriate cares to provide. Indications are also exposed in the Dictionnaire des sciences medicales Panckoucke published in 1821.
