Intracranial penetrating injury by a nail gun: An unusual case report
2023, Asian Journal of SurgeryConservative management of penetrating ocular trauma caused by a nail gun
2018, American Journal of Ophthalmology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :In our case, the poor final visual acuity was due to retinal atrophy that resulted from commotio retinae. The decision to perform or not a pars plana vitrectomy is made based on the initial clinical findings such as the presence of vitreous hemorrhage, vitreous traction, tears, retinal detachment or cataract.2,3,8 In our case, IOFB compromised the posterior segment but the retina was attached with no vitreous hemorrhage, and part of the foreign body was protruding externally.
Management of Penetrating Brain Injury Caused by a Nail Gun: Three Case Reports and Literature Review
2018, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Common causes include work-related accidents, self-harm, suicide, and criminal assault using a nail gun.5,6 Most nail guns can fire nails at approximately 100–150 m/s,7,8 which is often sufficient to penetrate the scalp and skull. Because of the its rarity and complexity, nail gun–induced PBI poses a particular challenge for neurosurgeons.
Penetrating head injury from nailguns: A case series from New Zealand
2008, Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Imaging for penetrating head trauma is often a reflection of resource availability at the primary care hospital. Plain skull X-rays provide valuable information (Figs. 4,5);11,26,27,40 however, axial CT scanning is generally agreed to be the most useful primary imaging investigation as it allows assessment of the entry site, fragmentation, missile tracts, associated injuries, and provides an indication of intracranial pressure. These factors all provide valuable prognostic information.40,41
