    AbstractWe present a 3-year-old girl with a transoral injury by a bamboo chopstick penetrating the middle skull base. The features of imaging are described and the management is discussed. The potential for injury to the cavernous sinus is emphasized, even if no there is no hemorrhage on the initial CT scan. Early intracranial infection in relation to penetrating injuries is a factor in planning treatment by craniotomy.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
