Abstract

Penetrating head trauma in children causes uncommon and potentially life-threatening injuries. We report on a case of penetrating cranial stab wound to the right parietal region of the head to a 29-week fetus. The child was delivered by emergency Caesarian section. Neurosurgical intervention after birth was necessary. The injury caused a posthaemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Real-time ultrasound examination visualises the brain damage and the development of a hydrocephalus e vacuo.
