TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - An intracranial wooden foreign body without neurological findings: case report JO - Journal of trauma A1 - Yano, H. A1 - Nishimura, G. A1 - Sakamoto, K. A1 - Tanaka, Nobuhiko A1 - Dazai, S. A1 - Hirano, A. SP - 830 EP - 832 VL - 38 IS - 5 N2 - We encountered an unusual case of an intracranial wooden stick penetrating through the frontal bone, without remarkable neurological findings. That foreign body was shown to be a low-density area similar to an intracranial air pocket by a standard computed tomogram. Here we discuss the potential hazards of intracranial wooden foreign bodies and emphasize the necessity for special attention to them during radiologic examination.
