Transorbital Orbitocranial Penetrating Injury with an Iron Rod.
Transorbital orbitocranial penetrating injuries (TOPIs) are relatively rare, can be caused by high-speed projectile foreign bodies to low-energy trauma (which is rarer), and account for 24% of penetrating head injuries in adults and approximately 45% in children. We report an uncommon nonfatal case of TOPI where a 16-year-old male child sustained injury due to accidental penetration of metal bar into the forehead. A bicoronal flap was raised to remove the metal bar. The patient recovered well, had normal vision, and doing well at follow-up.
