Abstract

We present a case of penetrating trauma with a blunt object to the calvarium of a young child. Presentation, emergency room management, radiology, and surgical treatment are illustrated and discussed. It is of utmost importance in these cases to proceed in a way so as to minimize secondary injury that may be caused in removal of the foreign body.
