Abstract

We report the remarkable case of the passage of a heavy metal rod through the head of a 42-year-old man. The patient had an excellent outcome because of prompt and efficient rescue efforts combined with transport to a major neurosurgical trauma center. Reference is made to a somewhat similar case publicized over 130 years ago.
