Penetrating injuries other than gunshot wounds or low-velocity
wounds to the head are extremely rare. We report the case of a 19
year old male who sustained a penetrating craniocerebral trauma
following a road traffic accident. Mechanism of injury seems to
share characteristics of low velocity projectiles. We discuss the
management of this unusual case reviewing the current literature
on craniocerebral injuries caused by similar objects.
Keywords : penetrating head injury;
