ABSTRACT
Foreign body removal in blind, penetrating craniocerebral injuries, especially those involving craniobasal localization, could entail additional brain trauma risk. Under such conditions one can use surgical approaches for tumor removal or clipping of intracranial aneurysms. In this report, we present a case of blind, penetrating craniofacial injury in which a supraorbital-pterion approach for foreign body removal was used. Craniography, carotid angiography, and computed tomography data, including three-dimensional imaging, were taken into consideration while planning the operation.
