- W3205582760 abstract "Abstract Introduction Penetrating brain injuries (PBI) are less common than closed head traumas. Interest in frontal lobe injuries dates back to 1848’s famous Phineas Gage incident. Here, we report a case of a construction worker, who showed a remarkable neuropsychiatric outcome following a workplace accident. Case Presentation 45year old gentleman came with complaint of a foreign body accidentally lodged in his forehead. He had no neurological deficits or CSF leak. X-ray revealed that a 5.5cm metallic screw was penetrating his skull, headfirst; CT revealed that approximately 3cm of the screw was in the frontal sinus. He was given antiepileptics and antibiotics prophylactically. Surgically the screw was removed by raising a bone flap and mobilizing the screw carefully by cutting the dura and adequate irrigation, causing minimal damage to the brain parenchyma. The dural deficits were repaired and the frontal sinus was canalized, then a drain was placed, and the patient was shifted to ICU for postoperative monitoring. Discussion It is important to prognosticate PBI as they can have neurological deficits that may be lifelong. Understanding the mechanism of injury, aggressive medical management and immediate surgical intervention may lead to improved outcomes. A foreign object of the size of 5.5cm, completely penetrating the skull would have otherwise resulted in extensive parenchymal damage. Literature suggests that no two people have an identical frontal sinus. In our patient the size the frontal sinus has served the purpose of protection against PBI and has resulted in minimal parenchymal injury (of only about 1cm)." @default.
