Management of Embedded Foreign Body: Penetrating Stab Wound to the Head

Journal of Trauma Nursing : the Official Journal of the Society of Trauma Nurses. Apr-Jun, 2009  |  Pubmed ID: 19543016

Penetrating craniocerebral trauma is an injury in which a projectile violates the skull but does not exit. The significance of penetrating injuries to the head depends largely on the circumstances of the injury, the velocity of impact, and attributes of the projectile.
