Case ReportsTransorbital penetrating injury by a chopstick--case report.
A one-year-old boy presented with orbitocranial penetrating injury by a chopstick. Neurological examination did not reveal abnormal findings. Skull radiography did not reveal any sign of fracture and there were no abnormal findings. ⋯ The wound may be superficial and trivial. Major neurological deficit does not usually manifest immediately, so the penetrating injury may be overlooked. If the foreign body is retained in the orbit and cranium, severe infectious complications may occur later.
