Overview

Case illustrates penetrating orbitocranial injury from a motorcycle lock in a 14-year-old, highlighting CT scan utility and surgical approach.

Key Points

  • A motorcycle lock embedded in the left temporal region caused significant orbitocranial injury.
  • CT scan showed penetration of the left optic nerve and surrounding structures, stressing the need for accurate imaging.
  • Surgical removal of the metal foreign object was performed without postoperative complications, but eye movement was restricted.
  • The case underscores the urgency of treating penetrating injuries and the importance of anatomical knowledge for surgery.
