Abstract:

Penetrating head injuries can be the result of numerous intentional or unintentional events, including missile wounds, stab wounds, motor vehicle and occupational accidents (nails, iron rods) or assaults (screw-drivers). Penetrating head injuries caused by screw-drivers constitute only a small part of the total number of traumatic head injuries seen in casualty. We report a case of neuro-trauma who was operated in our institution. A 25 years gentleman presented in casualty on with a screw-driver penetrating into the skull, as an unusual case of violence.
