Abstract

Penetrating head trauma may present challenging problems in the acute phase (removal of foreign bodies, control of haemorrhage, prevention of infection) and in the management of long-term sequelae (neurological deficit, cognitive impairment, seizures). Two unusual cases demonstrate the progress made in emergency medicine, radiology neurointensive care, and neurosurgical head injury management over 36 years.
