Özet
Objective To present the chapter "On wound of the head and fracture of the head bone" of Kita¯b al-Mans.u¯ri¯ / Liber Almansoris, which was one of the early works of Rhazes. Methods Both Arabic (Süleymaniye Manuscript Library, Ayasofya collection, Nr. 3751 and Millet Library, Feyzullah Efendi collection, Nr. 1327) and the Latin (Basileae, 1544) texts of Kita¯b al-Mans.u¯ri¯ / Liber Almansoris were studied, and the 26th section of the 7th chapter, entitled "Fi¯ al-shajja kasr al-'az.m al-ra's / De plagis capitis et fractura cranei / On wound of the head and fracture of the head bone" was translated into English and English text created. Results Rhazes underlined removing bone fragments in depressed and separated fractures of cranium along with protection of the dura, but he did not describe any surgical technique in this chapter. Conclusions Galen's contemplation for the care of the dura with its integrity and as well his proposal to remove the bone fragments for preventing the dura from injury were the golden standards at the time that Rhazes also followed in the treatment of skull fractures.
