Overview

Case report explores unexpected pathways of foreign bodies in cranial injuries, highlighting surgical challenges.

Key Points

  • This research examines uncommon pathways of foreign bodies entering the cranial cavity through transorbital injuries.
  • Reported case of a 26-year-old man with a wooden stick penetrating the orbital region into the cranial cavity.
  • Utilized CT and angiography to assess structural damage and foreign body trajectory.
  • Conducted right frontotemporal craniotomy for intracranial foreign body removal and intraorbital extraction of remaining portion.
  • The foreign body measured 27 cm and traveled through various skull structures into the cranial cavity.
  • Postoperative assessment showed the patient had a visual acuity of 3/60 and regained consciousness and orientation.
  • Emphasized the importance of advanced imaging and early rehabilitation for effective recovery.
