Chapter I.--Wounds And Injuries Of The Head.
Section III -- Gunshot Fractures Of The Inner Table Of The Skull
CASE 15.--Corporal William McCord, Co. I, 14th Michigan Volunteers, at Chattahoochie, Georgia, July 5th, 1864, was struck over the right superciliary ridge by a conoidal musket ball. He was scarcely aware of being wounded, so slight were the immediate effects of the injury. The bleeding obliged him to leave the ranks, and he was examined by Surgeon Edward Batwell,(*) 14th Michigan Volunteers, who stated that he had been struck by a glancing ball, which had cut through the integuments, apparently leaving the bone intact, tie went to a division hospital of the Fourteenth Corps; lint though complaining of slight headache, he returned next day voluntarily to duty with his regiment. On the eighth day from the reception of the injury in consequence of severe pain in the seat of the wound, he reported at the hospital. Next day the pain was diminished, and he felt considerably better, but had irregular chills through the day, followed by slight fewer. On the morning of the tenth day he was very drowsy and snappish, and evening brought an increase of these symptoms, and at night he was comatose and insensible, and death ensued soon after. According to Surgeon Batwell's dates, he died on July 16th; but the report of the adjutant general of Michigan and the register of the Fourteenth Army Corps agree in giving the date of death as July 28th, 1864. A post mortem examination revealed a fracture of the inner table of the skull, with slight depression, though none was visible on the external surface, with an abscess, containing about two ounces of pus, under the seat of injury and in the substance of the brain. Dr. Batwell remarks: "The curious points of this case are the absence of urgent symptoms during the first nine days, and the rapidity of their development within the last twenty-four hours."
