In our study PBI avoiding the ventricular system, brain stem, dorsum sellae and the circle of Willis were associated with more survivability. A "potential lethal zone" was detected and associated with poor outcome after civilian PBI due to firearms. A better evaluation of the performance of this "potential lethal zone" in larger studies will be required.
