An Interesting Case of Penetrating Brain Injury Due to Assault with Meat Chopper Knife
Funding None.
Abstract
Penetrating injuries to brain are rare and mostly result from warfare injuries, suicidal/homicidal firearm injuries, or accidental injuries. In general, they are associated with poor outcome. We report the challenges faced in managing an interesting case of penetrating brain injury as a result of assault with meat chopper knife that underwent surgical intervention and had a good outcome.
