abstract="INTRODUCTION: Injuries by fishing harpoon are extremely rare. Despite the similarities to other penetrating injuries normally caused by gunshot and stab wounds, harpoon injuries feature hook-type tips pointing to the opposite direction to that of removal, thus rendering the surgery more complex. CASE REPORT: The authors report on a case of a child who sustained an injury caused by two-piece fragments of a fishing harpoon to the right temporal and orbital regions. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis process is discussed and a suggestion is presented as to treatment principles. <p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
