TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Transcranial arrow injury: A case report JO - Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi A1 - Kardeş, Ozgur A1 - Börcek, Alp Ozgun A1 - Kurt, Gokhan A1 - Ceviker, N. A1 - Aydıncak, Ozgen SP - 241 EP - 243 VL - 13 IS - 3 N2 - As demonstrated in various studies, with mortality and morbidity rates reaching 90%-100%, penetrating brain injuries are among the most devastating subjects of neurosurgery. Shell and sharapnell fragments are the most common cause of this type injuries; although rarely reported in "modern times", transcranial arrow injuries may also be the cause. In this report, a 37 year-old male patient, who was shot by an "arrow" accidentally, was evaluated regarding clinical presentation, treatment and clinical progress.
