Perhaps I should apologize for discussing a condition which has been so thoroughly treated by various writers. However, I have two reasons for choosing this subject.

Second, I think it is frequently wise to review a subject critically though it may have received a great deal of attention, since often its exposition has followed beaten paths, which may or may not lead to rational conclusions.It is my intention not to attempt to discuss the entire subject of intracranial hemorrhage but to pick out certain phases which seem to me most worthy of consideration. I shall discuss first the frequency |
