TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Screwdriver assaults and intracranial injuries JO - Journal of accident and emergency medicine A1 - Tutton, M. G. A1 - Chitnavis, B. A1 - Stell, I. M. SP - 225 EP - 226 VL - 17 IS - 3 N2 - Four patients with intracranial penetrating injuries from screwdrivers are presented. Two cases were fatal; the others were left with functional deficits. In two of the patients a penetrating injury was not suspected initially because the history was limited and the significance of the small entry wounds were not appreciated. Unless these wounds are carefully examined a penetrating injury is easily overlooked.
