abstract="BACKGROUND: Management of penetrating cranial trauma remains a high acuity and imaging intense neurosurgical disorder. Imaging of vital structures, including angiography, is typically conducted to understand the proximity of vital structures in comparison to a foreign body and prepare for intraoperative complications such as hemorrhage. Preservation of function following initial injury in cases where minimal neurological deficit exists is essential. CASE DESCRIPTION: Here, we present a case using intraoperative computed tomography to assist in early detection and resolution of hemorrhage in the surgical management of an intact patient with self-inflicted penetrating cranial trauma. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: This method may aid in early detection of hemorrhage and prevention of consequential neurological deterioration or emergent need for secondary surgery.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
