abstract="Accidental transorbital head injuries are quite rare. Penetrating head injuries by blunt objects are possible when the site of penetration is through the orbit or the thin temporal bone. The present case is a rare case of transorbital penetrating head injury by a blunt object - bicycle brake handle. Minor external wounds may be misleading and fatal consequences may ensue if cerebral damage is missed on diagnosis. Proper antibiotic coverage to prevent meningitis and neurosurgical intervention can reduce mortality in such cases.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
