The patient, a boy, set. 13, fell from the roof of a house ; and, when brought to the hospital (138, 88) there was great depression of, and just above, the nasal bones "the nose seeming to have been driven into the face."

The nasal, and small portions of the adjoining bones were found completely detached, but still connected together, as shown in the preparation. The body of the sphenoid is also seen to have been broken. The fracture extended through the base of the skull, to the occiput, and there was some separation of the lambdoidal suture, with a separate fracture upon one side of the head. Pus was found beneath the dura mater, along the longitudinal sinus ; and extensive softening of the cerebellum. 1868.
