They were performing a prefrontal lobotomy through the perioccular orbit. In this procedure an ice-pick like tool is inserted into the brain and moved around to "disrupt" the brain. It was a barbaric medical procedure popular in Europe and the US in the 40s and 50s. Egad Moniz, the Spanish (or Portuguese) neurosurgeon who developed this "technique" won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this. Lobotomies were used to calm violent mentally ill patients, as well as not so violent patients. It was terrible period in medicine that thankfully was interrupted by common sense, scientific inquiry and the development of neuroleptic drugs.

What else can I help you with?
What is the vertical cross section of a cone?
The vertical cross section of a right vertical cone is a triangle if that cross section is taken from the vertex. Any other vertical cross section will reveal a hyperbola (with endpoints on the base of the cone). A link can be found below.
What is the cross section of a brick with a vertical cut?
a square
What is the vertical cross section of a rectangular pyramid?
triangle
How do you find the length of a prism with the cross-section and volume?
length = volume/cross-section
What is a cylinders 2d name?
You cannot have a 2d cylinder. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.

Describe the cross section of a basketball vertical hortizontal and angled?
They are all circles. The vertical and horizontal have the same radius as the ball while the angled cross section has a smaller radius.
What shape does vertical cross section of a sphere create?
a circle !
If you cut a sphere with a vertical angled and horizontal slide what are the cross sections?
When a sphere is cut with a vertical angled plane, the cross-section will be an ellipse. If the sphere is then cut by a horizontal plane, the cross-section will be a circle. Thus, the combination of these two cuts results in an elliptical cross-section from the angled cut and circular cross-sections from the horizontal cuts at various heights.
What is the cross section formed by a plane that contains a vertical line of symetry for a tetrahedron?
It is a triangle.
What is the name of a drawing view showing a vertical cut through the construction?
That is called a cross-section.
What is the cross section of a structural dome most simiar to?
If horizontal, a circle. If vertical, a semi-circle.
What is a column of air of unit cross sectional area?
A unit cross-section, as defined by the SI system of measurement, is 1 metre2. So a column of air is all the air in a vertical column whose cross sectional area is 1 m2. The exact shape of the cross section is not defined but it is normally circular or a square.A unit cross-section, as defined by the SI system of measurement, is 1 metre2.

Yes the triangular cross-section area is congruent throughput the prism.
